Well, when I was about nine, I received the book for a birthday present. The moment I saw it, i was astonished by its size. (paperbound, all of them put together) I tryed to read it that year, but it was just to hard. Then, I heard that FotR was coming out, and one of my friends was a fan, so I decided to read the book again. It was amazing! Then, I told my Mom that she had to read it aloud to everybody. (my family are all fans now!) She did! The entire thing! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I was quite amazed. (she started reading after we all saw FotR, and a while before TTT, I told her she had to finish at least TTT before we saw the movie. Then, she finished the entire book! I was amazed. Even my Dad listened! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )

(before this, my Mom had read "The Hobbit" to us so many times that the cover had fallen off, so I suppose they were already fans. We even had the animated Hobbit! Still do as a matter of fact....
