I’ve watched the first movie and tried reading the first book. I agree. These are among the most boring experiences of my life.
I got half way through the final book before I couldn't take it anymore.
If he would have only tried to let my imagination fill in become details, it wouldn't be so bad, but it was a trudge of over detailed explanation of everything.
Everything that spawned because of it was great, but the books themselves really are overrated.
That's said, I enjoy the movies, solid 8/10.
