I went to see The Hobbit with my Boy today. He doesn't know it, but the movie was a reward for making a big effort with his reading. We read the book together a few months ago. He has just finished his prep year, so I read most of it but he had to read the first page of each chapter (with a little help). Some of the scenes had him hanging on but he got through it.
I was wondering how they could justify stretching the book out to three movies. I have no concerns now. It ticked all the boxes for me.
