It was the high amount of history and detail wich got me hooked to LOTR. I hadn't read the books when I saw FOTR at the cinema, so I obviously ran down to the nearest book shop and brought a copy straight after seeing the film. I soon found that the books were so much better than the films and that every tiny detail has relevance or is significant to some part of Middle-earth history. I have since read the books about 26 times and plan to carry on reading them at least once a year. I think the vast amount of real human emotion shown by the characters helps to make the story relate to everyone and that it gives people hope that everyone can do something, nomatter how small, to help the world. Well, that doesn't really sum it up, but I'm not good with words... Tolkien rules is about it I s'pose.
