Oh yeah, I can imagine how totally lost you were!! I remember being really angry at Frodo. I was shocked that he actually left the other two hobbits behind. I kept wanting him to go back and at least say "I want you guys along." But its obvious and understandable why he didnt. I just didnt want the team to be broken up. They were so fun to read.
It was quite confusing starting with Two Towers, LOL! I don't remember getting angry at Frodo. I do remember being worried about Merry and Pippin when they were captured, and anxious about Gollum's plotting against Frodo and Sam, and really concerned when Sam lost Frodo. I also remember being very upset when Gandalf fell at Moria!
