I love the story (read them long before the movies), but the constant diversions into pointless descriptions of what they were having for dinner, and the endless rhymes and songs made FOTR unreadable. The Two Towers was better, but not by much.
However, Return of the King was great, and the Hobbit was entertaining as well.

I've tried reading the trilogy three times over the decades, and I've never been able to finish The Two Towers, so I don't know if Return of the King was any good. The endless and pointless descriptions of everything kills it for me. When it takes half the book to get them through the forest because of the description of every color of every leaf on every last tree in the forest, I just can't be bothered.
