I voted for a little hard. I read it for the first time when I was only 11 years old and I don't think I really understood it. But now I have read it at least 10 times.

First time I read it, it was difficult to understand, but it was ok. The second time I tried to read it, but got lost quickly so I stopped. That happened with all the books. The Hobbit, though the easiest to read of all three, is still difficult and hard to understand.

Not really, there were a few times, but I'm a pretty good reader anyways. I think the Silmarillion is hard to read.

I've always had a good imagination, so I didnt find any of the books hard to read....

A lot of people are put off of reading the books by the length of the first chapter in FOTR

It was extremely easy to read it in Dutch, but it took quite some time to read it in English. So, yes, it was a little difficult to read FOTR (in English).

I had to put FOTR down for about 2 months and when I picked it up again and was fine.. although I still have not finished it I hope to soon!

I saw the movie first before I realize there was a book. I think I was about 7 or 8...terrible memory...*mutters*

...Anyways...

I bought the book when I saw it cause I loved the movie. Then I tried to read it and I had no clue what it was about so I put it away for a while. But last year, I suddenly watched the film again and right after, I picked up the book and started reading. Thankfully, I understood it a lot better so I'm not at all that dim-witted. =P

I voted for no, i loved to read it! My mother had it at home, and the first time i read it i was about 11. The first two times i read it, i did read it in dutch (wich is my first langue) but now i'm trying in english, but that's not so hard now, becouse I already know what is going to happen..

yes, it was hard... but that was just because i was 9...

I accidentally voted for yes, very hard... but it should be yes, a little. I was 9 when I first read the whole trilogy. I gave up (yes, I know! I GAVE UP. The shame.) when Saruman died in the scouring of the shire.

I was about 10 or 11 I'm not sure when I read it the first time, and it was not hard, for me, I loved it!! Maybe it was because I was always looking to find a book like this!!

I was 8 or 9 when I read for the first time lotr and it didn't was difficult to me because I was so curious to know the end of the story that I read it in a mounth, even if I had never read a book before that.

I said it was a little hard, because when I first read it, I thought the first book in FOTR drug on a bit. It was good, but the storyborad seemed a bit slow to me.

Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams
I can still hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again
When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And Back again
