Yeah, nook got the same prologue. I didn't see much point in purchasing it since I'm going to purchase the full book when it actually gets nook-ized.

I am not sure if I should be impressed or not...You made it to work!?

They actually talk about them in the book but they extended it for the movie.
There they were sheltering under a hanging rock for the night, and he lay beneath a blanket and shook from head to toe. When he peeped out in the lightning-flashes, he saw that across the valley the stone-giants were out and were hurling rocks at one another for a. game, and catching them, and tossing them down into the darkness where they smashed among the trees far below, or splintered into little bits with a bang. [...] They could hear the giants guffawing and shouting all over the mountainsides. [...] "This won't do at all!" said Thorin. "If we don't get blown off or drowned, or struck by lightning, we shall be picked up by some giant and kicked sky-high for a football." [...] As they passed under the arch, it was good to hear the wind and the rain outside instead of all about them, and to feel safe from the giants and their rocks.

Hobbits good point seen the film yet ?, from what I heard it's going to be a triolgy (?), but it's the thinest book Tolkien produced....
Yes. And I have to agree with P.O'H. I had to take my 12yr old son to see it (in 3D for the second time). I awoke about 45 minutes in to the sound of my own snoring. Unless you're a Tolkien nut then don't bother. Incidentally, I went to the same high school as Mr. Jackson. He was in my sisters class. And he's a Tolkien nut from back then (mid 70's).

It's more the glimpse of what it means for Rand.

He looks like a weasel...

That's a bit unkind to weasels.

I remember starting that series years and years ago - unfortunately, Jordan dragged it on and on and on, far past the point where he should have wrapped it all off. The problem was, it always felt incredibly derivative: Rand al Thor - Paul Atreides Aes Sedai - Bene Geserit Invasion of Trollocs - hello, does Helms Deep mean anything? Band of friends off on different adventures - Hobbits And so on.
