I thought the Arwen-Aragorn storyline was well done

But the best parts of it were taken directly from the LOTR appendices, which is pure Tolkien (and a part of the story). I also would have liked for Tolkien to include those bits in the main body of the text, though I understand his decision to keep the focus on the hobbits. The Aragorn-Arwen storyline doesn't work when they fiddled with it to connect with the Ring storyline (Arwen's fate tied to the Ring), and when it was grafted onto odd expanded bits of Aragorn's story (the kiss that becomes a horse's, etc). There were few moments where PJ's invented material did feel like Tolkien, but they were few and far between, IMO. Theodred's funeral is one of the exceptions, which was an invention, but was pure Tolkien.
