| Re: LOTR vs The Hobbit Aye, to the pile, good man! And on top, to boot... I read The Hobbit first (13yrs old). Wonderful. Left me wanting more. Unintentionally allowed a little time to pass before getting into the LoTR. Smashin'. Left me wishing for far too much... The Silmarillian and The Unfinished Tales, in that order, blew me away. The latter two Ive reread far far more than the previous two. And I hope that sums up my view. "Those literary vistas...!"  HG |

| Re: LOTR vs The Hobbit When I was first read the Hobbit, as a youngling by my father, it made little sense to me and I failed to understand the plot. After watching the Lord of the Rings film however, I felt inspired to read both the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trillogy. I read the Hobbit and found it a enthralling read, and then the trillogy was just as epic and fantastic as I had imagined. This is why the trillogy in particular, is my favourate book, as much as it is also my favourate film. |

| Re: LOTR vs The Hobbit This seems very similar to other threads in this series. I loved The Hobbit and couldn't put it down but have struggled with LOTR (read about a third). Am determined to pick it up again one day and continue. Perhaps it will improve as I get stuck back into it again. |

| Re: LOTR vs The Hobbit The Hobbit was the first book I actually read from cover to cover when I was about 12. I was (and still am) enthralled by it! This naturally lead on to reading LOTR which blew me away even more! So I can't really say I like one more than the other as they seem like a continuous story to me!.. |
