I've done it! Read The Hobbit, LOTR and The Silmarillion in a row.
Reviews (ish) under cut link (well these are re-reads):
( The Hobbit )
Onwards to LOTR- I also watched all three movies just to be thorough because I'm weird like thatalso they are amazing movies
( may this be a light in the darkness, when all other lights have gone out )
The Silmarillion tells the tale of the First and Second Age and is a rather hard read. I saw it as more of an appendices to LOTR and The Hobbit than a book in its own right.
( because thou hast broken the law of the Lord, thou shalt never be King )
But the most powerful part of this story for me was always that of The Hobbit's. To quote Galadrial "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." A good moral. A good moral indeed.
Have you read any of these? Or seen the movies? What did you think?
