I was so moved I cried when it was over.

I still cry every time I finish those books. Poor Frodo wanted for so long nothing more than to go home to the Shire--but when he finally did go home, he was so damaged by the entire experience that he could not stay and enjoy the comfortable life he longed for.

I have a friend who looks at it a little differently. She thought that Frodo was very fortunate, since he was leaving to go live with the elves. Since the elves always seemed arrogant and condescending to me, I never thought that a very good deal.

It wasn't that so much; just that the whole story was so overwhelming and was wrapped up so neatly at the end, especially the sadness at the end of the hobbits going after each other due to Saruman's treacherous revenge...I don't know, it was emotional lol
