Hobbits are also refered to as Halfings in the book, just so you know.
I agree the movie seemed to 'rush through', but remember they had to take out some events and scenes in the book in order to ensure the movie was a decent length. (they took out the whole bit with Tom Bomadal and the selling of Bags End).
I didn't like how they took out that one elf dude (I don't remember the name) and replaced him with Arwen. In the book she was never on a horse...never left Riverdale in fact (from what I have read so far that is). Another bit they changed: The broken sword was on Strider in the book, where it was in Riverdale the whole time in the movie.
ACK! I am nicpicking! Stop it! *slaps herself*
ow...thats better. Anyway...my favorite character has to be the dwarf (sorry don't remember his name either...*sigh* I am only at the council part of the book...)
Edit: one more little thing...I read in an article that to read the book outloud would take you 40 hrs...yikes...
