I was recently criticized for reading "The Fellowship of the Ring" aloud to my 7 year old son (I'm reading it to my older child too). I was told it is not "appropriate" for his age. He loves the story and has gotten very into it, asking detailed questions about the history of Middle Earth and poring over maps to find places that the book mentions. It does not bore him in the slightest and he can easily listen for 30 minutes or more. I am not seeing a problem here but wondered if I'm missing something...?
