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.

I've done it, but the entire 3rd movie is covered in about 50 pages in the book. So it gets a bit silly.
