I don't remember. I read it in Junior High. Probably did skip them. That I said Junior High and not Middle School should give you a clue how long ago it was.

Errr, yes I do.

It annoys me when Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli take the time to lay out the slain Boromir in the boat and shove him into the river.

Okay, fine. But then each of them takes two pages apiece to chant some sad heroic ditties.

Hey, guys!

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard! Get a move on!

The book implies that the Orcs have a full day head start on them, and they're not sure if Frodo and Sam are with them or not. (Unlike the movie.)
