[The Saucepan Man]

My wife was convinced at a young age, by members of her family, that she would not enjoy LotR. Accordingly, she resisted all my attempts to persuade her to read it. Then we went to see the film of FotR together and she was captivated by it. She proceeded to read the book and absolutely loved it. She now plans to read it a second time and is, if anything, more excited than me at the prospect of seeing the RotK film in three days time.

It just goes to show how wrong people can be in pre-judging whether they themselves, or those close to them, may or may not enjoy a particular book.
