Some people just assume that they won't like LOTR, that it will be too hard or confusing. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I used to be one of these people.

When I first heard that the movie was coming out, I didn't want to see it because I hadn't read the book. I wouldn't read the book because I thought I wouldn't like it. Well, the excitement of the movie coming out encouraged me to read LOTR and The Hobbit like so many others, and guess what? I LOVED IT!!! I am disappointed in myself that I didn't read the books earlier. I wish that people would stop making the same mistake I did and try reading the book. They might end up surprising themselves and enjoy it. It happened to me.
