Well, we all know The Lord of the Rings is the greatest fantasy novel ever written. So that rating is very sus.
Well, the Harry Potter boxset has a 4.9 out of 5. So it's obvious that there was some review bombing going on by those dorks.
The Hobbit is probably the best entry for a young reader

I do agree to start with the Hobbit, it's a prequel and will make sure you and your kid like the writing style.

Now, with that out of the way, it really depends on the kid. I read LotR with my 10 year old this past year or so. He loved it. Probably fine for 11 year olds, though I'd recommend reading together - it's a great bonding experience.

I first read LOTR at 12. So, depending on reading level/maturity, 11 isn't out of the question. Though 1,248 pages is pretty daunting for an 11 y/o.

Excellent for a young person who is interested in fantasy and adventure. The Hobbit is a much shorter and easier read and happens before TLOTR. However there is significantly more action and much higher stakes in TLOTR. If the child is an avid reader, it shouldn't matter. But if they don't read a lot, I'd start with the Hobbit.
