I have hard time with overly descriptive books...I just get lost in trying to picture everything and don't comprehend anything. :no:
I personally love the movies. :lub: I own the box set extended editions on DVD and have watched them all about 4 or 5 times through.
I hope to finish the books one day, and also the Silmarillion(which I have heard is supposed to be 10 times harder to read). :rd:

Hi Olivia-Nicole, and welcome to the forum.IMHO your hubby and sis-in-law are correct that the first book does get easier and more interesting as you continue,then you are drawn-in and hooked,LOL!
