Lord of the Rings : Fellowship of the Ring

Yeah, so I watched all three movies in the movie theater years ago, when they first came out. I liked it, so I'm reading the book now.
I'm at page 353, near the end of the book. So far, almost everything that I've read has been acted out by the movie. The movie actually follows the book nicely, and it doesn't cut off parts that make viewers confused.
In the book, Frodo and company have already found their way out of dark mines that have dangerous creatures and orcs inside. Now they are with elves, especially those elves who were given rings of power years ago.
Now that I read the book, I really like the way the movie portrayed the characters. I think it came out to fit perfectly, unlike some movies (I heard Twilight is going to have Cedric from Harry Potter, I think that's wrong!).
Although, when Gandalf died or "died", I'd expected a lot more from the book. After the movie, I automatically assumed that the director cut off some parts of the book, but i guess not.
The book has some boring parts that makes me want to fall asleep, but there are other chapters that sucked me in, and I just sat there, ignoring my homework and reading.

I'll finish this book by next week, and start on the sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, which is Castle In the Air.
