'An attrocious movie which is a despicable insult to a wonderful book'

personally, i had never read the books b4 i saw the movie and i went to my friends house to watch it...and i was amazed beyond belief. the lotr fotr movie was the first one that got me really hooked on the whole atmosphere. yet i personally liked both films but i still am sad to say that i havent read the books but i am trying to go buy them somewhere close to where i live. i really enjoy the whole atmosphere of the world, but hopefully i will get to read them, i say this all the time that i havent read the books but i am really wanting to...so yes i am new at it but hope to become really knowledgeable about the whole books and all that other good stuff.
