QUOTE] Fellow Sd'ers please see Killendino's post above, which I refuse to replicate because it is the stupidest comment ever made in the history of slickdeals, and make note of how to completely...

Do these books explain why there was one movie for each of the three LOTR books, but three movies for the one Hobbit book? It seems to be some sort of geometric problem. I was going to take my...

i read the hobbit, the lord of the rings and the silmarillion albeit 30+ yrs ago, and the hobbit is a really good movie, exp in 3D imax, for the casting, special effects, etc for a movie. depends on...

At Wal-Mart? Ironic, LOTR for sale in the depths of Mordor. Gotta love 'free pickup at store' as opposed to all those stores with a pickup charge.

The first few reviews talk about typographical errors. Sounds like these books were not checked very carefully before going to print :-/

That reader is going to be quite surprised when they see the 2nd part of the Hobbit in the theaters :)

Don't buy this, get this instead: http://www.amazon.com/The-Lord-Rings-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0618640150/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1359656540&sr=1-1 It's even cheaper than this, as well as...

By the way - to the poster who says it's not worth reading the books because he saw the movies, let me just say this: one of the main themes of the BOOKS was the evolution of the 4 hobbits from being...

no silmarillion, no deal. fwiw, i read the series when i was like 9 or 10.
Post #57292096 added 02-01-2013 8:35 AM by losttsol in Archived Deals
You really need to read the series about three times to get a clue as to what's all happening. There are so many character and place names that it is tough for it all to sink in on the first go...

Well, I am sorry you feel you now know everything LOTR has to offer because you've seen the movie. FWIW, Christopher Tolkien, J R R Tolkien's son who worked a lot on Tolkien senior's works, hated the...

I thought the movies were good. And I'm a huge Tolkien fan. You can do some things in books that you just can't in film. I believe the film did as good of a job as anyone could hope for. Edit:...

I first read them in the summer between 5th and 6th grade. I borrowed them from a classmate who'd already ready them an unknown time before. But I was also a kid who read a lot. I read all four...

I agree, the movies were pretty good on their own merit. But I just don't like the idea when someone says they don't have to read the book because they've seen it all in the movie :)

See that! You saved me about 12+ hours of VERY boring reading to find that out. lol All reading is boring, that's what I meant to say. I've never yawned more than reading every day for my college...

I thought I had it the worst. I only saw the first half of the first movie and read no books.

I am in the same boat - I have not watched any of the movies or read the books. I finally got all the 3 LOTR movies earlier this month and I am just ordering the book now.

i thought you had to read slickdeals. not aware there is an audio format. does slickdeals put you to sleep too? maybe it's just the genre of what you are reading that is yawn inducing. it's ok...

The appendix has some important information that was used in the new Hobbit film series. I believe there is also important information pulled from The Silmarillion.

Yes, my earlier joking aside, the books are great and I am very grateful someone gave me a boxed set when I was a kid. For anyone who is fan of LotR, fantasy (Harry Potter were awful kids books,...

For $12.25 & 2 day shipping (I have prime), its a no brainer. My kid will love this. He loves to read & loves LOTR/HOBBIT movies :) Thanks OP & repped!

Great Price. Would make a nice gift for a young reader who has never read this series.

The movies have nothing from the The Silmarillion, for legal reasons. Jackson's company acquired rights to all JRR Tolkiens' published works, ultimately stemming from his sale of these rights in...

What does "movie tie-in" stand for? I mean I see the Wiki article, but what are these books specifically? Is this the original text? Or is it some sort of "novelization", made to be more in-sync...

1. Physically, the other is one book instead of three. 2. Based upon copyright page, the books in this deal are based upon the 1965 edition. The 50th anniversary ones are newer versions. Maybe I...

Wait for the story to become cloudy. Then read the books. You are missing out if you think the movies can replace the books. A movie cannot truly portray a writing style.

Thanks for the link, but it's for a 12 year old girl. I think a one volume edition might be intimidating and would not be easy to read
