I've read "the lord of the rings" when I was 12, over the course of 3 days. Eat, sleep, go to bathroom, and read.
Probably the biggest impact a book ever had on me.

I was probably the same age the first time I read it but I definitely wouldn’t say it changed my life. How did it impact yours?

I think it was the first time I really went through an "epic" story and digged every emotion about it. Almost like a coming of age.

I guess it would have had an even greater impact if you didn't go to the bathroom.

Also Silmarillion adds a lot of depth to it.
