Gil-Estel wants to know ...... have you ever read Lord of the Rings? How about watched the movies? And, the bigger question: which did you prefer?!
For letting him know, you'll receive a small HPD token of appreciation from him! Let him know by noon on Saturday, March 26th. |

I've read the books and seen the movies. To be honest, I prefer the movies. Tolkein's writing style is not my cup of tea. But I admire the books for the classics that they are, and all of the small details that they couldn't fit into the movies. ![]() |

I've also read the books and seen the movies. But if I'm being honest, I prefer the movies over the books. I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style; (I guess you could say that I'm a little picky when it comes to the writing style). The books are good for reading and enjoying but I prefer the movies over the books. :) ![]() |

I've seen all the movies. I've read about half the books... I think it's pretty easy to tell that I preferred the movies. LMAO ![]() |

I'm partway into the Two Towers book, and.... it's a struggle. I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one who isn't really a fan of Tolkien's writing style, so I definitely prefer the movies! In fact, this rainy day might be the perfect time for a marathon. ![]() |

I prefer the movies! I've given the books a couple different tries but I just couldn't commit to them. ![]() |

I have read as much of Tolkien's work as I can get my hands on, I love his style. However, I absolutely prefer the movies. Peter Jackson is legendary! ![]() |

I've not read them but I did go to cinema to see all the movies so I'd have to say the films. I took my younger brother as he was into them and I enjoyed them more than I thought I would.

I have read the books and seen the movies (oh so many many times). I love the books since they have so much more story for some characters (particularly if you take into consideration the histories and other ancillary books), but if forced to choose I would probably pick the movies. They are absolute classics for a reason and should never be messed with! |

I have read and watched the movies.
I love the books because I love envisioning the story how I see it. Also makes it feel more real for me

I've only seen the movies and I actually watched them backwards. Meaning I watched return of the king then the two towers then the fellowship! Lol
