i've been wanting to read the books but was afraid that having watched the movies the books would seem boreing but since you guys say its worth reading then i guess i'll do it, thanks guys.
I have, like I said. It was an Ok sort of book, the type you can take with you on a long journey and finish it during the course of the journey. Not a great masterpiece by any means, unlike what some people consider it to be, in my opinion.
