Last night I finally finished The Return of the King. In other words, I finally finished the trilogy. (I had read The Hobbit several years ago.) I have to admit, I was a bit surprised at how it turned out. I had thought that the ring would be destroyed and that would be the end of it. Then I realized I still had a lot of pages left.
My biggest question, however, deals with differences between the movies and the books. I think I may be the only person in the world who has not seen the movies yet. I wanted to read the books, first. How do the movies compare? Is it worth going out and renting them, or should I just wait to stumble across them on TV or when other people are watching them?
