"Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."
Oh, yeah, I cried. Andy Serkis as a narrator did a superb job, and the bit in the end, a whole mini plot arc that was not included in the movies was a delight to read in that I had a moment of "oh my god there is MORE". I strongly believe this quest would have failed without Samwise Gamgee, the epitome of Best Friend.
