Syed Nawaz asked this question about The Lord of the Rings:
I haven't read Tolkiens works, but I really want to. My concern is that currently, the LOTR movies are currently my favourite movies of all time (this is coming from someone who doesn't usually have favourites). Will reading the books ruin my love for the movies? I know this will depend on me, but I wanted to see the general opinion.
Jordan Farnsworth No!!! I, like you, LOVE the LOTR movies and watched them before reading the books. The movie actually helped me understand the book better. Tolkien ca…moreNo!!! I, like you, LOVE the LOTR movies and watched them before reading the books. The movie actually helped me understand the book better. Tolkien can be a bit difficult to understand, and the movies help clarify. You will love the books. They have everything that the movie has, and more. Have fun! :)(less)
