Thanks Dreamer128, but Lifetime said they had already read the Hobbit.
  Hobbits and sex? That's enough to put anyone off their feed....*urk* ------------------  The line between good and evil is razor sharp. Be careful of misteps, lest you find yourself spitted upon your own blade. |

The six 'books' of the Lord of the Rings are divided over three books, being The Fellowship of the Ring (book 1&2), The Two Towers (3&4) and The Return of the King (5&6)

I'm not sure whether to go see the film or not. Probably will, BUT I have read the Lord of the Rings so many times that I have a very clear picture of the Ring world in my head, and am worried that it'll never be the same again. Okay, maybe it'll be better......

I agree that The Hobbit was quite boring in places, but I don't understand what you mean by politically-correct language. The notion of political correctness didn't exist back when he wrote these books as it does today, and even if it did it would mean little for his created races. That's just the style he writes in. His language is dry, which could lead to the assumption that he's trying to shy away from making any flamboyant statements about a race, but that's not so.
Anyway, I'm rambling and I forgot what my point was, or even if I had one. To answer your question the Lord of the Rings series is aimed much more towards adults, and is no simple "Fairy Tale". Also remember, though, that "real high fantasy" isn't constituted by "all the death and gore." ------------------ a bunch of long hairs. trux |

Does anyone think that the movies will be as good, tho usually they are not, as the books? I Just picked up the trilogy, all in one book, and will read it b4 the movies. I find that if you read the books, you will get more out of the movie. You are able to know what the characters are "thinking", while they are doing. It always makes the movie better when you read the book first......in most cases.

), but I like to form my own intepretations of characters..I dont like being told what to visualise, if you know what I mean. I like to form my own opinions on how a character should feel, look, be, not borrow someone else's.
