Would The Fellowship of the Ring work as a book-club pick? I like having something we can disagree about afterwards.

Eimear, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

The Fellowship of the Ring is one I am weighing up. The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.

Ciaran, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

For anyone considering The Fellowship of the Ring: Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.
