When you get into a great novel just to come across an entire chapter or multiple pages of crap.. aka fillers, aka backstories.

Most of these fillers and backstories are not warranted and simply make the novel appear thicker and longer than it actually is. Give me the novel without all this crap. 

Am reading one now, well trying to, however this crap/filler/backstory is ruining the flow of the novel, grrr

Do not, I repeat, do not pick up anything by Tolkein

LOL, and there am I thinking, how on earth do you make a Lord of the Rings movie and not include Tom Bombadil?
