Imagine how long the book would need to be to describe in excruciating detail all the interminable physics-defying action scenes in the Hobbit movies.

Alternatively:

Titles.
9 hours of interminable excrement which cannot be described in words.
The End.

A £100+ second impression, no thanks. Outside of Tolkien land there just isn't any real justification for the £150 RRP. I don't understand how/why HC can't use their massive financial leverage to deliver a far better value product. It feels (to borrow a Stu phrase) like a real money-grap.

I'm waiting for someone to tell me it's lovely & a great addition to their collection...

It's lovely & a great addition to my collection.

I respect your honesty.

Currently on eBay, someone is hoping for £300 for the new deluxe!! Crazy.

When a book is faster to read than the movie is to watch you know there will be trouble

Reminds me of the following exchange i had with a young co-worker:

"That guy looks like Ben Kingsley"
"Ben Kingsley?"
"Yeah he played Gandhi"
"Gandhi?"

But yes the discord of Jackson spreads.
