Well, as someone considerably under 18, I believe I am qualified here.
I have been trying to read LOTR since I was about 8, but could never get into it. You have to admit, the exposition in the first book is pretty long. Finally, about 1 month before the movie came out, I got past part 1 of FOTR, and was immediately hooked. I devoured the whole trilogy and The Hobbit before the premier.
And here I am today.
