Summary: The Classic, timeless adventure comes to a close
Review: This book brings the masterpeice of the Lord of the Rings to a close. Our charachters are put through such trial and hardship, and stick together through it all. I don't feel that I can really write enough to express the full, rich, epic this book is.

Summary: Lord of the Rings:Return of the King
Review: I would recommend the book Lord of the Rings: Return of the King for people who would read it for fun. I would not recommend this book for some one who is reading it for school because it is hard to journal about or to summarize. This book is for people who like fantasy and books with a large vocab. This book is about a group of people who are trying to get to Mordor to destroy an evil ring.

Summary: An exciting conclusion to the classic trilogy
Review: After finishing the second book in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers, I rushed out and got this one immediately. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.Although, I enjoyed the second book a little more than this one, this is still an exciting conclusion to the series and is a must read. I especially liked the part with Gollum and the two hobbits traveling together. While they are tempted several times to kill Gollum for his wickedness, something prevents them and in the end it saves everything. I thought this was an interesting message. While I am firm believer in free-will... sometimes you just don't know what fate has in store for you. This book is a great story about believing in your mission in life and having faith that if you press on fate will come to your aid, even if it's in an unexpected way. I wish there were more writers out there who would take on such stories and handle them as masterfully as Tolkien has done.

Summary: Magnficent conclusion to a great book...
Review: Tolkien's power with words reaches it's apex in this , the third volume of the trilogy. From the simple descriptions of the characters to the battle scenes , and Frodo's efforts to scale Mount Doom , the author brings the entire epic to life here in the grand conclusion of the tale. Anyone who can read this and not feel "as one" with the Hobbits has no soul and is devoid of emotions. The book commences with Sam Gamgee believing that Frodo has died in Shelob's lair and undertakes to become the Ringbearer. Denethor prepares to defend Minas Tirith but seemingly has fallen under the influence of Mordor and attempts to cremate the still living Faramir and himself on a funeral pyre. The riders of Rohan are mustered and ride to the assistance of Gondor... All in all there is much action leading to the victory of men against the hosts of Sauron. Meanwhile Frodo and Sam creep ever nearer to Cracks of Doom to destroy the One Ring. Even though I originally read this book 30 years ago , I was once again entranced with the world of Middle Earth on reading it again. One of the few books of the 20th Century worthy of the title "Literature". Much better than any of the later imitators in the fantasy genre.

Summary: The Conclusion: The King and the Death of Mordor
Review: This book will hold you until the end with the continuity of the suspense. Mordor is a relentless force and the ring is even worse for Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgey. They have tried to abandon Gollum, but he has proved helpful in this book to the end. The final battle between good and evil takes place, with all the forces of Middle Earth against all the forces of Sauron and the One Ring. Once you have begun this book, you will not be able to stand the suspense. It does NOT end after the battle, for all of Middle Earth is in disrepair and many of the elvin kind are leaving. This truly is a clever ending to an epic tale of the One Ring. You cannot read just one of these books!
I recommend the audio recordings for all three books, as well, Rob Inglis is a spectacular reader.

Summary: The Return of the King Sweeps the Fantasy Scene!
Review: The Return of the King is definitely the best book I have ever read. It is the ultimate ending to Tolkien's fantastic trilogy; it is a story of love, bravery, magic, and terror all wrapped up in one. I must admit that the ending was slightly disappointing, however, Middle Earth was better for it. I will read this book again someday-once you start, you can barely put it down. I LOVED IT!

Summary: Flawless fantasy!
Review: How great a book is this? No word could fully explain its brilliance. Out of Tolkien's three novels, this was undoubtedly the best. While most authors end their series poorly, Tolkien ended his legend exceptionally. There was no point during this book that I felt bored or exasperated--it was truly flawless. I recommend it with the utmost level of recommendation. How many books are ranked 5 stars out of over 200 reviews? Not many. Start reading this in the morning, because you'll be reading all day!

Summary: This is my all time favorite book.
Review: I became interested in the trilogy when my brother Chris made me read "The Hobbit." Though many people skip the prequel to the trilogy, it certainly helped me to connect things to all 3 books of "The Lord of the Rings." It took me a total of 5 months to read "The Hobbit", "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers", and "The Return of the King." I loved all of the books, but my all time favorite was "The Return of the King." I love Aragorn, and this was his book -- well, a part of it was. The first half of the book was a little emotional, but it was worth it. When I finished the book, I was almost torn apart. The ending totally surprised me, not only because it wasn't something that could have been predicted, but because these wonderful characters: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, and Gimli, were ripped away from me. They were my family for 5 months, and now they were gone with not another word. Though saying goodbye to the Trilogy was hard, I would never ever go back on those 5 wonderful months and not read the books. Especially since it's summertime, this is a great time to read these books. A little part of me still believes these wonderful characters are with me, and will never go away.

Summary: Closure on an Epic tale
Review: Tolkien is fabulous at revealing the atmosphere of the worlds that he creates. He describes these places with such detail that I wonder how they are going to pull off the next two on the big screen. The story dives deeper and deeper into hell by putting our heros into the most dreadful positions. Eventually the get brought out through fighting for there lives. I will probibly read this over as there is just so much to absorb . Beautifully developed and wonderfully woven. The first part dives into the battle for Gondor and it is dark. Yet the march into Mordor in the second part is as evil and as fantastic as you will find. Absolutly magical.

Summary: The Return of the King
Review: In "The Return Of The King" by J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien does a wonderful job of ending an amazing story that has branched through a mystical trilogy of magic, hope, good and evil...
My favorite character in this book is Sam, my favorites have changed throughout the trilogy. He sticks with Frodo throughout the whole story and is his will when Frodo wants to give up. Sam puts his life on the line for Frodo many times in this story, he was truly what kept Frodo going.
I enjoyed the ending to this trilogy, some minor characters came into the spotlight and showed their true colors, and the book wrapped up nicely.
