It’s very interesting to read the book after watching the movies so many times. I enjoy noticing the differences so I’ll focus on that.
First thing is that there’s a huge difference in the gap between Bilbo‘s farewell party and Frodo’s departure. In the book, it’s a 17 year gap. Frodo goes from celebrating his 33rd birthday to turning 50. It’s also a meticulously planned departure, not a rushed one.
