My son at the age of three and a half is too young, he is scared by Gollum. But It seems like I should force my wife to start reading the book. She really enjoyed watching the films in the movies and even watched the DVDs with me, though not as many times.<P>Explaining Tolkien's world to "Tolkien virgins" is not easy. I reckon you should start with the Hobbit. From there if they like the genre, attack the LOTR.<P>Good luck!
