Summary: The BEST book in the trilogy
Review: One of the reasons I liked this book is because it gives a great veiw of the the bad guy(a really,really bad guy.I'm thinking Satan here)Bad guys are my weakness.I feel that if the bad guys aren't believable,the book won't hold together.(makes you kinda wonder what would have happened if Sauron got the Ring.I am now thinking "a stream of evil-looking red light zaps into the sky,a hurricane-thingy forms above Mount Doom complete with lightening,there is maniacal laughter...but,I'll let you draw your own conclusions)The beginning of the book is a tad boring,but don't lose faith,keep reading!Anyway in the last book,Frodo is captured by "Big baddie's"(Sauron's)minions.Sam goes to find him,into MORDOR!!!Help!Meanwhile,Gandalf and co. fight off Sauron's leiutenant,the Witch-King of somewhere,a real medusa(hideous)and Pippin wounds hims with an enchanted knife,and SPALT!!He's dead.After that,they go to Mount Doom and do,oh you know what,so I not sayin'.Oh,and a reveiwer from Canada wrote that Sauron shouldn't of been killed because "thats what gives the book its meaning",well,I have two things to say about that:#1 the third age(and the series)is coming to a close.The era of magic is over(this is when the world,or Middle-Earth,comes into the Middle Ages).And #2There in nothing in a book that compares(or that the reader has been waiting for more)to the climactic battle,in which,the villin is destroyed in a BIG bang.Anyway,I wish Tolken was still around to write more,as I still have questions: what happened to the Blue Wizards?What did Gandalf do before he met Bilbo?What..........(enough,already!)

Summary: YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: The Return of the King is the classic "good against evil" book, but it has unexpected twists. It really keeps you in suspense. The characters are so lifelike. You can almost imagine that you're there, watching the events take place. The book is really centered on doing your best, even though everything seems hopeless. It's the AWESOMEST book I've ever read!

Summary: I only put 1 star so people would read this :-)
Review: Tolkien wrote an undescrible book and it cannot be done in any way and i think , that how his son tried to finish the whole series, is bad and he shouldn't have touched it because it's J.R.R.'s not Christopher's and he should have not killed the Dark Lord [Sauron] because evil must stay in the land of Middle-Earth because thats what gave the book meaning

Summary: Breathtaking and beautiful
Review: In creating this third book of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien has brought to life one of the most magical and spectacular adventures in literature. I am eternally in love with all of the characters, from the loyal and dependable hobbits, to the stern and proud dwarves and all in-between. In this land, Middle Earth, are enchanted forests, grueling mountains, vast wastelands and glorious fields, all of which are setting to a great tale. A tale of hope, darkness, joy, pain, love, hate, triumph and sorrow all interwoven with masterful skill by a masterful storyteller. An excersice for the imagination, the trilogy is as romantic as it is epic, and one which should not be missed. I highly, highly recommend all three books.

Summary: Enthralling work of a Master Storyteller!
Review: The Lord of the Rings is the best fantasy story of all time! Tolkien is a master storyteller, and his secondary world of Middle Earth is so true, and so beautifully described. The Lord of the Rings is published in three volumes [Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King], but it is really one story told straight through; to appreciate part of it, you must read all three books. The Hobbit is considered a prelude to the trilogy, and is more accessable to younger readers. [It is much lighter in tone, and is of course much shorter, only being 287 pages long.] The Return of the King is wonderful, containing the climax and the end of the Third Age of Middle Earth. While some conclusions are predictable, other twists in the plot are rather unpredictable. If you haven't read these stories, be wary of reviews that reveal the plot. Knowing what happens is empty compared to knowing how it happens, and hearing the story through the words of a master storyteller. The entire work fits together so well, Tolkien's dedication to perfecting the story is evident. For those readers who feel disappointed that the story is ended, and want to read more about Middle Earth, many of Tolkein's writings were published after his death, such as the Silmarillion. One warning though; no hobbits. These stories deal with the First and Second Age, being tales of Valinor, Elven kingdoms [Gondolin, Nargothrond, Doriath] in Middle Earth, and the days of Numenor before its fall. I highly recommend anything Tolkien has written, because his stories have such deep meanings, and his fantasy world is so well developed to make almost any other appear shallow. Because he was writing one story, some readers may find The Fellowship a bit slow in getting started, but The Return of the King more than makes up for it. Stick with it; this is a quest you will never forget, and you may find yourself wishing to visit these enchanted, almost real lands...

Summary: This book will keep you on your tippy toes!
Review: Because there is a lot of action adventure and some romance. The characters are Frode. He is a adventurest hobbit the same as Sam, Merry,Pippen. Gandalf is a very powful wizard, that will laugh in the face of danger. Argorn has hands of healing. He is the husband of Arwen and the queen of Gondor.Faramir is the husband of Eowyn. Denethor was the king of Gondor until Argorn came to take his place as king.King Theoden died trying to kill the Lord Of The Nazguls, but Maradoc killed the Lord of the Nazguls. Eomer is king of Rohan, and a friend of Aragorn. Gollum is a very skiny creature and that tried to kill Sam and Frode more than once. With all these chararacters it will keep you interested. Oh, I almost forgot, read these first three books. The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The two towers.

Summary: The Main Course and Magnus Opus of the Second Age
Review: In a world of brilliant and terrible imagery it is criminal to paste such pathetic caricatures of such noble characters on these book covers.
