For all you people who do not have time to read books, here's a condensed version of The Lord of The Rings :
Frodo got a magic ring from his uncle and traveled to Mordor to destroy it. It wasn't always easy, but he made it.
Now let's try a condensed version of a random Star Trek TOS episode :
Something bad happens or is going to happen and the Enterprise swoops in and saves the day. And Kirk gets the girl.
I think that the second try is much more representative, but still, I'd much rather read the book and see the episode.
