Frodo is whisked away on a magical quest to the dreaded Mordor. Along the way comes Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Samwise, Merry, Pippin, and, of course, Gandalf. This book covers there journey through rivendell, Moria and Lothlorien. If you lsaw the movie, read the book. There's not as much action in the book, but the detail is amazing. This truly is the greatest epic fantasy of our time. ( )

The classic of classics when it comes to fantasy. I loved the first bits where we explore the life of the hobbits, which incidentally read like a sequel to the Hobbit. Things get darker from there. Lots of long winded traveling chapters, but Tolkien is a masterful enough writer that this fleshes out his world more. ( )

i only read lord of the rings a few years ago. and devoured all 3 books in as many days. What can one say other than perfection. ( )

What can you add in a review of this classic? A pity that five stars are the limit here... ( )

Ash nazg durbatulûk. Ash nazg gimbatul. Ash nazg thrrakatulûk. Agh burzum ishi krimpatul. Love this stuff. ( )
