In all fairness to JRR Tolkien, he wrote the LOTR to be recited rather than merely read. The audio book is actually really good. And of course, without his genius, we wouldn't have the films.

The success of the films is that they grasped the spirit of the book, but condensed it & bought it to life.

What movie adaptation goes against the grain of “the book was better”?
