What am i missing here? Nearly everyone rates this as one of the greatest books ever but so far nothing has really happened! for the past several chapters Tolkien has spent 20 pages describing scenery and the journey , throwing in the odd poem, then something happens and if quickly resolved before another 3 pages describing how they stop , eat and have a bath.

i fell there is no character development or plot?
