'You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: "Shut the book now, Dad; we don't want to read any more."'
I'm pretty sure that Frodo was more worried about the tale being scary, rather than boring, but it works for me. Too be fair, it does get less boring thereafter with Faramir, Shelob, and the Orcs. Anyhow, now I can see the movie, and contrast and compare.
