Rating: Summary: One of the best Review: One of the best books I have ever rea
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: Though I do not like this edition, you can't deny that the book on the inside is just as good as any. If you want this book, get a better, more available edition.
Rating: Summary: Tolkien have written an instant success Review: which puts you in the story. Feels like you fight the battles, sing the songs ,and fell the pain. Tolkien brings you along for an epic adventure which should not be missed.
Rating: Summary: Hang in there Review: If you are struggling throught this book, my advise to you is to keep reading. The rest of this series is absolutely superb (especially The Two Towers). Though I must admit that this is J.R.R. Tolkien's worst book about Middle Earth, it's still pretty good and is well written. The only thing that I really dislike about Tolkien's world is the elves. They strike me as silly and unmotivated, and even though they have infinite wisdom and strength they send in a bunch of untrained hobbits to do the dirty work of getting rid of the ring. Luckily there are some brave and honorable characters like Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, and Sam, who are willing to save Middle Earth, no matter what might happen to themselves. I would definitely reccomend this book to any fantasy fan.
Rating: Summary: About a messed up hobbit trying to save his butt. Review: I hated this book. It was a waste of my money. And also a waste of my little time left here on earth because I will soon be gone into the unknown world.
Rating: Summary: Frodo soon learns that his quest is no walk in the Shire... Review: Frodo Baggins, a hobbit from the land of the Shire, destined to take the One Ring of power to Sauron's kingdom. A pretty routine plot, considering the hundreds of other fantasy titles out there. What makes The Fellowship so special? Every detail of the book was planned out perfectly, the storyline fit together like a jig-saw puzzle, and the bone-chilling points in the book (such as the attack on their camp) are balanced with light-hearted scenes as well (Rivendell, Elves). J.R.R. Tolkien is without a doubt, one of the greatest writers of all time, right up there with Shakespear and Poe.
Rating: Summary: Simply the greatest work of art ever Review: This book, and the others that precede and follow it, are perhaps the greatest work of fiction I have ever read. Tolkien's incredible imagination, and the creation of several languages, contribute to the incredibly realistic world created here. After reading this book, as well as the related works, I was left wishing that I could actually visit Middle-Earth. Throughout the books, one gets the impression that Tolkien is relaying actual events, that occurred in an actual time and place. I have never read fiction which has so successfully immersed me in the setting as these works. Absolutely brilliant.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book in the Whole Wide World Review: This book is awesome. Tolkien is a pure genius. I used to hate books until I read this book. This book is one you should definitely read and if you do not you are an idiot. Sam and Gandalf are the best. The only books that equal up to this one is The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
Rating: Summary: An Adventure beyond your imagination. Review: The young hobbit Frodo Baggins has been chosen to go on a daring quest.A few words from the encourager. I have always enjoyed a good fantasy tale, and a heroic quest. It all started when I saw the animated cartoon based on the best selling book The Hobbit. Back then I was too young to read a thick novel. Aventualy I read the book The Hobbit. Now I am reading the conclusion series The Lord of the Rings. I have just finnished volume one The Fellowship of the ring, and I will be reading volume two The two towers very soon. The Fellowship of the Ring is focused on the young hobbit Frodo, and the evil one ring. If you do not know a Hobbit is a being slightly shorter than a dwarf, they have leathery and hairy feet, and often curly hair. Frodo, along with his eight companions Sam, Pippin, Merry, Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, Gimli, and Legolas, must send the ring into the fire it was created. The one rinc can help the evil sorcerer Souron destroy all good in middle earth. Can Frodo, and his companions put the ring into the fires of Mount Doom? Read the book, and find out. I sugest you read The Hobbit before you read The Lord of the Rings , because it will help you understand the story line of the conclusion. The only thing I don't like about this book, is it started to bore me for a while, but my interest returned. Never give up if it bores you, because your interest will return! If you like a daring quest, heroic adventures, and a good story line The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings are the books for you. I will end this with a quote from the book. In elven "Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbitul, ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul!" In English "One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them!"
