I saw the movie last December, or was it this January, and then got a hold of the book, a single volume of all three, this April. I have read it once so far, but I have read a couple of chapters three or four times. Especially the ones featuring Boromir, Eowyn and the Uruk hai. I just got my hands on the Hobbit, but my brother took it away and gave it to his girlfriend. I'll read it sometime later.

The movie is nothing like the book, and the book is nothing like the movie. I enjoyed the fight sequences in the movie better. Tolkien doesn't write battles well at all. He describes people rather well though.
