Well I enjoy analysing literature, but not too much. Sometimes it can take away from the spirit of the book. However that is just my opinion I read the Hobbit when I was 8 and I loved it.. I think it would be ok for some young children to read..but I don't think that children under the age of maybe 10 could fully appreciate LotR. I read them when I was about 11, and I've read them 3 more times since then. They are really fantastic books that people of all ages can enjoy!
