I’ve been reading The Lord of the Rings for the past week or so for the first time since I was at school (over 20 years ago!!!)
Having seen all the films (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set)) when they came out and then asking Santa for the DVDs as they came out it is the movies that are stuck in my head. The books are fantastic though – so much more detail and a few things I couldn’t remember from the books that weren’t in the films. Like I say, it was 20+ years ago!
Heartily recommend having another read if you have seen the films. I’m going to rerun the films once I’ve finished the 3rd book.
