      It does starts a little bit slow with the creation of the world, but when you get to the Noldor's journey to Beleriand (Middle earth) and their quest to retrieve the Silmarils, you will love it all that unfolds.
      Its my favorite book of all time, and by far.
      Can only dream that once they will adapt the first age to videogame or as a series, until then Im looking forward to see what Amazon does with the second age, hope its good!

Oversexualization seems to be on the decline though. I don't mind violence, gore and sexual content in like horror or thrillers or drama but not in fantasy epics. I'm only interested in heroes being selfless badasses going up against evil villains. Rape, incest, prostitution and foul language kinda takes me out of the experience and is a reminder of how horrible many aspects of our species can be. Plus it seems like cheap shock value. Game of Thrones is super popular and if it doesn't bother you more power to you, and to be fair GoT probably closer to what medieval times were like but I dunno, it just doesn't do it for me.

    OMG, how did I just find this now...? This is amazing! I love the dedication that fans like Stephen and the people who worked on it have to this day for LotR. I love these stories so much, like millions of other people in the world and it just warms my heart every time when I see someone freak out over the same things that I also love so deeply. This story is an unbelievably big part of my life and I am so thankful for that! ❤🙏✨
    Also... I love Harry Potter, but I agree: WHERE ARE THE BIG CELEBRATIONS FOR LOTR'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY!? 🥺😃 WE NEED THEM!
    So thank you for this, Stephen. At least someone thought of a celebration for it and such a creative way of doing so, too! 😌🙌
