Summary: Good Read
Review: "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a great fantasy book that takes you into the lives of hobbits, dwarves, elves, dark lords, and many other very exciting characters. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. It was very exciting and had me hooked from the first chapter. The story is about a very powerful ring, made by a dark lord, that has fallen into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, who must travel to far lands to destroy it. The story tells of all the adventures he has on the way. The only complaint I had about this book is that it could get kind of slow during the traveling scenes. This pace did not last for very long however and it was right back to being exciting. Great book, everyone should read it.

Summary: A Strong Fellowship
Review: A Review by Jordan
A young hobbit embarks on a journey to destroy the ultimate ring that will release destruction upon Middle Earth if the true owner gets hold of it. The fellowship meets a raider name Strider and he save them from these dark riders who are after the ring. They join up with a dwarf and an elf to make the fellowship of nine.This was a great book with a lot of details and a lot of imagination. It is a book of might and magic, also friendship and the battles against an evil warrior. I enjoyed this book but I didn't like some of the parts where they got into a lot of detail and little actions. I also couldn't fallow all of the different names sometimes, I found myself flipping back and forth though the book asking my self, 'what was that again,' or 'who is that,' but you get a better understanding of the beginning if you have read Tolkien's first book 'The Hobbit' which is kind of the prequel to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. I would recommend this book for those with patience and imagination. If you enjoyed 'The Hobbit' or you like books with wizards, elves, and goblins then you will love this book.

Summary: Not my style.
Review: I do not like mythical books, so I knew I was in for it when I started "The Fellowship of the Ring." I became interested in the story 100 pages before it ended (I became very bored during the traveling). The names are a lot of fun, though! Just to say them aloud is a fun challenge! If you love Tolkein and mythical stuff, then this is the book for you; if not, don't even read this if you are dared.

Summary: A Fantasy Novel with Appeal for All Readers
Review: I will say this right up front--I do not read fantasy, or science fiction novels, generally. I made an exception for this one and will read the other two in the series because Fellowship of the Ring is just so well done. If you love fantasy, well, you've probably already read this one, but if it's just not your thing, try this one. It's definitely written on a much more sophisticated level than The Hobbit. It's readable, it's engaging and it doesn't go over the top at all. One warning: the novel just ends pretty much in the middle of the action, so you'll probably want to run right out and pick up The Two Towers--just be prepared to devote a large block of time to reading the series. Have fun.

Summary: Award-Winning book
Review: This book is the finest piece of writing that I have ever read. The Fellowship of the Ring though it is a rather old book, it still is very good. The Author starts out by telling about the events of what happened in the book The Hobbit and then goes on to tell about the events that currently are happening in Hobbiton, which is where the majority of hobbits in the story live and are from. Without giving away too much, the story then takes a turn for the worst, and the hero of the story, Bilbo Baggins, Must take the ring of power once held by Sauron, where is must be destroyed. The bulk of the first book in the series is about the journey to rivendell, which is where the elves are located, and then they must get south to the area close to Rohan and Gondor, the humans civilizations in the story. The book in my opinion is a good book because the characters are all developed very well, and they all have a back-story behind them, and they all have something to tell and for the most part seems blank in the story. The author is very descriptive in his writing, and likes to share a lot of details with the reader that would normally be left out of other books because of time restraints, or other reasons that need not be discussed. The basic factor behind this book is that the author is so good that the book works around the few problems that it has, and works through them with tremendous steam driving force. The problems that the book mostly experiences are that, the author sometimes goes too in depth with detail, and he sometimes drags on and on with certain parts. Some may find this very interesting, but from where I stand it goes on too long some times, and doesn't really progress to anything of real importance that may be used by the reader. But some believe that when the author goes into this extreme depth that he gets a point across, he sometimes does this but other times the detail just goes on and on without getting anywhere. The major strong points of this movie are that the characters are given real depth and they know what their doing based on what that type of character would normally decide in that situation, and not what the author would decide if He was there in that condition, and based on this the book accomplishes the factor that those characters have a very humanistic quality to them, and they always know where they are going based on their conditions. The characters though there are many of them, all have a very unique quality that they share with one another and themselves that they always want to accomplish a certain goal for the group and themselves. For example the character Boromir in the story is from the nation of Gondor, he comes with the Fellowship in about the middle of the story, when the fellowship is first formed. He comes to accomplish his own goals with the ring; he wishes to use the ring for good and not to destroy it, without giving too much away this will eventually bring about the end of him, because of his greed for the ring, which shows real humanistic quality and how someone would genuinely react to this sort of instance that may occur for them. Overall I would say that this book is a genuinely the best that I've read, for the most part it overcomes the obstacles and passes through the trenches to become an award-winning book.

Summary: The beginning of an odessy
Review: When I first started this book I thought it to be another boring fantasy adventure book, then Frodo left Hobbiton and from there-on-out I was compleatly hooked. The overall description of this is exciting and overwelming. The songs in this book are very creative, it makes Edgar Allen Poe looked like some fithe grade writing assiment. {SORRY EDGAR}! The thing I like most is the old-language he uses. I mean you don't hear "hither and thither" every day. I strongly recommend this for any reader. I was one time caught up in it when Frodo was running away from the Nazegul (Black Riders) that i kinda sorta ingnored my whole assiment for school! (OOPS!)

Summary: Part One of One of the Greatest Trilogies in HISTORY!
Review: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is the grim lesson learned by many who have sought the One Ring Of Power, a relic with powers of astonishing magnitude. Anyone who has ever possessed it has succumbed to its power... Except one. Frodo Baggins is the nephew of Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit. The ring that Bilbo found in that story is the One Ring, which was thought to be lost for centuries. Frodo is asked by Gandalf the Wizard to deliver the Ring to the town of Rivendell so that a council can decide how to destroy it before its maker Sauron revives himself and reclaims the Ring, then destroys the world. At the council, no one can agree on who should be the "Ring-Bearer" and bring the Ring to Mordor so that it can be destroyed. Along with Frodo go eight others, who are dubbed the Fellowship of the Ring. This includes Gandalf the Wizard, Aragorn and Boromir, the humans, Legolas, the elf, Gimli, the dwarf, and the hobbits, Merry, Pippin, and Sam. But this is no easy task. Ringwraiths, trapped spirits forced to serve Sauron, are relentlessly searching for the Fellowship. What's more, Saruman (not to be confused with Sauron), a former ally, has become corrupt and obssesses over the Ring, and wants its power for himself. This is a great book, so if you haven't read it, at least check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: FASINATING!
Review: The book, Fellowship of the Ring, is a part of the Lord of the Rings series. The book is about a fellowship made up of a wizard named Gandolf, an elf archer named Legolas, a dwarf a axeman Gimli, a ranger Aragorn, a warrior Boromir, and the four Hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. They are all off on an action packed adventure to destroy a ring of power that evil is trying to get their hands on. If they do there is no stopping them from conquering good. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure books. So be sure to read this book by J.J.R. Tolkien.
