When is LotR bad for you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Note that, though definitely not for all, my kids have seen all of the films, including that 'older stuff' from before Jackson.

And, as I've stated elsewhere, the LotR chapters preceding Bree have put off 'readers' (and I use the word loosely) within my own extended family. And my parents weren't the biggest fans back in the day as Tolkien's works seemed too much like AD&D, and obviously that stuff is demonic. It's funny to see my mother having jumped on the wagon after reading about Tolkien's religiosity and relationship with Lewis.
