The chapter that concerns the battle is about 7600 words long. Legolas and Gimli's contest takes up about 135 words (plus around 50 more at the beginning of the next chapter). I don't care if people don't like Tolkien or find him hard to read - I love him now, but it took at least five tries before I even managed to get out of the Shire, so I do get it - but to say that the battle is largely concerned with their kill tallies is just so incorrect. Maybe it felt that way reading it though!

(Sorry, I just see people slam Tolkien a lot for things that aren't even present in his work. There are valid criticisms of him and his writing style to be made, and I don't expect him to be to everyone's taste, but far too often it's this kind of thing. It gets frustrating!)
