Yeah, definitely a "heavy read", even for an adult. At eleven, I wouldn't even attempt it.
I just finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the third or fourth time. It's amazing how my perspective has changed over the years.!!
It's a fantastic set of books - I used to read it on a yearly basis but got out of the habit. I read through it this summer and comparing it to the movie was very interesting. Also, reading "The Silmarillion" gave insight to both the book and movie I hadn't previously known. I bought my set 50 years ago and it is really showing its age!
