Tremendous! Though I don't disagree with the New Yorker's original take on the first two books. I think their 2001 review was appropriate in claiming that "this book about a quest is in fact a quest itself".
I had them read to me when I was a very young boy and re-read them in college. It was a "quest" both times and it definitely took a good chunk of time. aside: To this day, there are only 2 movies I've ever been to where the entire audience stood and applauded at the end, "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".
