The books just get better the more I read them. I was nervous to read this one because of Shelob and I’m an arachnophobe, but it was much better than aragog in Harry Potter. However, I don’t think her scene was really important beyond including peril. 

I love Sam and Frodo and how their relationship continues to develop as well as Legolas and Gimli. Mary and Pippin have a bigger role in this book and they do a fabulous job.
