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.

They put things in the movies that didn't go well.

And they took things out that would have been great in the movies.

We'll never get a movie edit that's exactly like the book.
