It’s a really long book though.
No it's not...Its around 300 pages, that's pretty standard length for most novels, might even be a little short TBH considering the genre.
I feel like most 300 page novels could easily be 3 movies.
I very much disagree, there's so much stuff which works well in books that absolutely does not translate to film. Many things that take 5+ pages to do in written media is a 10sec scene in film.
Like Tolkien describing all the trees, and the rocks, and the flowers, and the blades of grass... :)
I love the universe he has created, I fucking hate his writing style.
