A reader going through The Lord of the Rings for another time says they are struck again by how much the film adaptation differs from J.R.R. Tolkien's books, while stressing they have no complaints about it. The remark reflects a lasting, friendly debate among fans about what Peter Jackson's trilogy changed, cut or added when adapting the novels to the screen.

Why now: Ongoing rereads of Tolkien keep reigniting the familiar discussion of how the films diverge from the books.

• I'm currently (still) reading Lord of the Rings (again). And find it quite interesting how much different the film is from the books. No bad feelings about it, I just find it interesting to notice again. # lordoftherings # bookstodon · hikingdude · 12
