I've seen the first two movies, and own the dvd of the first... and I've become SOOO interested in this story... so, the oher day I decided to read it... I'm about half way through the first one, and it's great... I'm loving it... I tried to read them years ago, but couldn't get through em cause I found them boring... for some reason now they seem perfectly fine... |

tried to read the books about the stories the charecters said and the creation of the world but didnt get thru much too difficult |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yeah it gets kinda difficult( good word to use to about Lord of the Rings) thats probably why I didnt get past the first one, that and I had to read a book for class. |

i was so happy to see part two cause the book was just mad when discribing the war between saruman and the humans weird shit in the book! |

Yes, it was great. My sister who read all the books too said p. Jackson deleted some scenes but in all it was great...its awesome how he took the pictures in the book and put them exact to the movie. I loved that movie, I even cried. Samwise got me in heart |

I did a poll in the office before Xmas and it turned out that out of 7 of us, only me had read the books at all... That really suprised me... I re-read em again last year (last read em when I was 15 or something..) & enjoyed it a ton more than my younger-self... |

good for you man! |

Same here- they bored me when Iw as younger, but re-reading them now they're very good. I'm about half way through The Hobbit (reading all of them in order). |
||||||||
|

I have all the books from the BBC releases in mp3...haven't listened to them yet though |

Finally read them when I was about 18, I thought they were ok but the writing style was not to my liking whatsoever. I have the deluxe ebook containing all three books, the hobbit and the maps and everything and I can't get past the first few pages, it just doesn't appeal to me as a novel anymore. I'd rather read something more cutting edge like Ellis or Palahunuick or if it had to be fantasy then King's Dark Tower series. |

I read the three last year after seeing the first movie, now this year after having read them all I saw the second part I like the movies, but the book is better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the books are better in some parts the war part is much better seen than read |

I've read them a few times, plus the Hobbit, Silmarillion, and a few of the Books of Lost Tales. I guess that makes me a Tolkien nut. I also don't skip over the poetry and songs. :-) FotR was very good for a movie adaptation, I'm seeing TTT this evening. Got to remember to bring earplugs this time. They play the movies so f*cking loud in the theatres here. |

yeah love the war in the movies.. books are better tho.. exept for the crappy translation of the caracter's names, they sound so stupid in my language... and those songs/poems.. just page fillers.. im walking along the road.. hey i know an elfish poem blablablablablabla... im tired hey i know a song about that blablablabla... enough negative talk, books are great and so are the movies |

I read The Hobbit as a kid, and then realised my mum had the paperback of LOTR from ages ago (it had a price label for 25p on the back). I read the first book, never did get around to finishing it off. And I've still not seen the films, although I plan on doing so pretty soon. I was considering waiting, then watching all 3 in order in a marathon session, but I'll probably not bother now . . . |

I read the hobbit ages ago as well... I like the hobbit... and I can remember enough of it that the references to it in LOTR aren't totally foreign... but yeah, I'm loving it... books are so much better, even though these movies so far have been awesome!! My sister got this series for Christmas, and it included the hobbit... but I wanted to get right at the LOTR, so I skipped re-reading the hobbit... maybe I'll read it after... |

I have the special edition dvd of the fellowship, and it's awesome!! The extra 30 or 40 minutes of the movie really add a lot... it makes things a lot clearer I found... the extra footage is awesome as well!! I can't wait till Christmas this year, so I can get the two towers!! I'll have to watch em both back to back! :) |

The poems and songs are more relevant when you know more of the "back story" of the Lord of the Rings - the history of Middle Earth. But this isn't really required to enjoy the books or movies. |

There is also The Silmarillions (maybe bad spelling). also great story. wish tolkien lived forever so he could write all the stories he described in the history of Middle-Earth. |
