I first read The Hobbit when I was 8 - followed, during the next three days, by LOTR - and have re-read them every year since. Rowling just couldn't compare for us.Allie-oops Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356598486121651755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901501949352491801.post-88580194559321579272015-11-13T00:25:28.587-05:002015-11-13T00:25:28.587-05:00My son was 9 when he read the series as well.
