Could you also please say what you thought of the first book, The Fellowship of the Ring? I hope you'll forgive my curiosity. My personal experience was quite different and I'm just trying to understand people's views.

I am not a fan of LOTR. They are far from the worst I have ever read. The plot seemed to move slower than daytime television soap operas. The fill of over embellished descriptions added nothing to the books other than to let the mind wander and wonder if former US Vice President Humphery had written it. (He was know for long winded speeches that contained no substance, even by political speech criteria.)
