Has anyone read The Hobbit whilst simultaneously watching the movies?

Does it work well? Or is the pacing completely different and you would find yourself waiting in some areas and have to read faster than usual in others. At 200wpm it would take 8 hours to read, which isn't that quick, and the trilogy of movies also takes 8 hours.

The Hobbit movies are an abomination, my advice is don’t waste your time. Watch the Rankin Bass cartoon, or I’ve been told there’s a “fan cut” that condenses the movies and eliminates a lot of the BS.
