Decided a year or so ago to read "Lord of the Rings" with my son - read "the Hobbit" and now have finished "the Fellowship of the Ring".
These books are a terror to read aloud, and pronunciation is a pain as everyone has 11'dy-million names, homelands and destinations.
I have tried my best to have the kids read, or be read, books prior to watching movies. With a chapter or two to go in "The Fellowship of the Ring" we did watch the movie and it was good.
As I'm committed, I will read the remaining two books in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but caution others to avoid this project. Audiobooks may suffice in place of reading aloud.
