No I am not doing the typical thing of complaining about the movies, this time I am complaining of the book. The build up of this book was that they were going to defeat Smaug. And at the end of Smaug, he left the lonely mountain to kill lake town. Then some random guy that was introduced probably 20 or 40 pages before, killed him. I honestly think that the dwarves should've killed him, and not some random guy from lake town. And this book was written to be read to kids a chapter a night, so you could've had some funky action before killing Smaug. I also say that all of the battle of the five armies chapters should perish. These came from out of no where, and could have been explained in an epilogue that you didn't have to read. And for the movies, you didn't need any Sauron and just two movies.
