yes!!! in my opinion this book is waaaay better than FotR cuz theres a lot more action, less description compared to the first book and its way better suspense wise. i suggest u keep the third book handy when ure at the end of the book. i was dying since i didnt have the book and didnt know what was gonna happen since i hadnt watched the third movie by then. have fun reading. tell me how u like it later on.

I tend to tink of LOTr as more of one big book than three or six separate ones, but that's just me. I love them all the same. But it's different for everyone. Different people favor different books. It's great that you're reading it though! I hope you'll come back and discuss it with us as you go!

It is probably a bit harder to understand than FOTR which was relatively easy to uderstand lol.

I like them both around equally, but maybe FotR's a little better. Maybe.

I will bring balance and say that I think that TTT is a bit stronger written, that is to say, it is the beginning of the war of the ring. Whereas FOTR was written with a bit more comedy in it because the war had not started proper I think. TTT had to be a bit more serious as it is more about the fight for Middle Earth beginning and that needs a more dramatic intro than hobbits singing lol.

I like them both! But I always though TTT was a lot easier to understand. I tried reading them while I was still little and couldn't completely understand it. If I hadn't watched TFotR I would have been completely lost.

I bought the book a few years ago after I watched FoTR and tried to read it at a young age.
It was difficult for me so, like Princess of Ithilien said, I couldn't completely understand it.

But now, I'm reading it again and I'm happy to say I understanding it better than the time I tried reading it when I was a little kid.

I'm not done reading it yet but it's been really good so far.

The First time I read FotR I was in 5th grade. I actually found FotR easier to read than TTT. I'm not sure why but I read FotR a lot faster. Also when I re-read them I found it the same way. But I, like some other people, see LotR as one book, not three or six. Each part is special and unique in it's own way :)

It's hard to pick which book of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best. In my opinion, they are all incredible :). I'm not saying what other people say is wrong, that's just what I think.
