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

Is this good for an 11 year old? Never read the books but I love the movies. Was thinking of reading them together but maybe too long

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.
