Summary: The Fellowship of the Ring
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring is an exhilarating and well written book by J.R.R. Tolkien. That is probably why they made it into a movie too. I chose this book because I have been hearing that it is simply great. My brother also has read it and gave me the whole series to read myself. I have read the book titled The Hobbit which leads up to this trilogy, and it was just exciting to read. That was one of the reasons I have chosen to continue and read this author's books.Another is that there are new pictures from the movie which were put on to the covers. I felt I should at least give this novel a try after what I have been seeing and hearing about it.
I believe that Frodo is the main character over the whole book. Not just because he is on the front cover, but because he is the key to destruction or peace. Even though there are other main characters that accompany Trodo or stir up trouble, it surrounds Frodo since he holds the one thing that could bring evil upon everything.Frodo is the adopted son of Bilbo, the main character in The Hobit. He has inherited Bilbo's wealth for he had an adventure which gave him treasure in the end. Anyway, Frodo has many good attributes like being friendly and being moral. Through that he has made many friends as well as enemies.
It starts when Frodo was given the ring from bilbo.The ring that Sauron once made to control and destroy all. Now Frodo, and his hobbit companions go to Rivendell to escape the Ringwraiths that were after the ring. If Sauron got hold of the ring, he would destroy all that was good. That is why nine travelers were chosen to accompany the hobbits and destroy it in Mordor at Mount Doom. Later, the fellowship gets broken by armies of orcs, but Frodo and his loyal companion move on.

Summary: This is one of the best books ever!
Review: I was skeptical about the beginning of the book and I had not yet seen the movie, so it took me a while to start to read it. It may seem hard to read at first because of the old world language but it is a great book once you start to understand it.
It is a story about four hobbits with a mystical ring that was inherited to Frodo Baggins by his uncle Bilbo Baggins. The hobbits learn of the plot to use the ring for middle - Earth domination by evil king Sauron, it's creator. Their journey was doomed from the start to destroy the ring in the only place it can be desrtoyed at, MT. Doom in the middle of Saurons evil Kingdom. Along the way they meet new companions and dodge the dangers of evil. It is a great book, read it now! You must.

Summary: Greatest Fantasy series ever!
Review: The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is probably the best fantasy work ever. If you ever decide to read any fantasy tale, this should be the one to read. The LOTR series is a fascinating tale of four hobbit friends, a wizard, a ranger, an elf, a dwarf, and a warrior, who embark on a quest to destroy the one ring that would give someone the power to rule the entire of Middle-earth. Saroun, the ring's forger, has come back with a legion of orcs and other evil creatures to take back the ring.
Follow the company on this epic journey, by J.R.R. Tolkien, to destroy the ring and all the adventures between.

Frodo Baggins begins his journey to destroy the Ring. On his way he comes across nine dark riders who are trying to destroy him and the ring!
This book seemed to transport me into another world!

Summary: Not just a boy's tale
Review: People have pondered about wether or not the The lord of the rings is a young boy's (and girl's) tale or an outstanding and fanciful piece of literature in which a man is so sure of his ability he tells the story as if if the world that it takes place in is real. The question has lasted for twenty years and since the world is standard of good literature or simply fun with words then I will contribute my opinion.You are most likely familiar with the Harry Potter series, and it is the perfect example of a child's tale. J.R.R. Tolkien studied the language of our past and used it to write his story, and as you know their form of language, the early english written tradition, has proven not to be useless long sentences and foolish puns,(hint:Shakespeare),the context is so full of language and wit it would be an insult to call it a child's tale. Also out of the many books I have read, none have portrayed the imagination into an adventure like he has...

Summary: Nice plot, nice worldbuilding, lousy book.
Review: Now, I will start by saying that J.R.R. Tolkien is incredible, and Middle Earth is truly a masterpiece. However, he may have been better off just building the world and letting someone else ghost-write the actual books.The problem is that there isn't a single aspect of Middle Earth that he *doesn't* mention in this book. Since there's no way to just sort of work the details in, there are large amounts of *explaining* by the narrator. Consequently, the book looks more like a documentary than a novel. Tolkien would have been better off leaving out details, if there was no good way to include them without having to actually spend a full chapter describing the Shire. So, if you can put up with the *extraordinarily* slow pace, you may enjoy this book. I would say, though, that this is one of those extremely rare cases where the movie is better.

Summary: The Fellowship of the Ring
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring is a great book. The author is J.R.R. Tolkien. His writing style is very unique. This book is the first in a trilogy of three.
The book is about a young hobbit named Froto Baggins. He has inherited a ring from his uncle Bilbo Baggins. Little does Froto know what perils this ring will bring him. So he is set out to destroy the ring before it is too late. Froto sets out with nine others to bring evil to an end once and for all. If the ring is not destroyed they all will be destroyed.
This would be a book well worth your while to read. If you have read The Hobbit which is the prelued to The Lord of the Rings series then you will like this book and all the others in the series.

Summary: GREAT WORK DONE BY A GREAT MAN
Review: Written by novelist J.R.R Tolkiens, the Lord of the Rings' first installment, The Fellowship of the Rings, takes you through a wonderful journey based in the world created by Tolkiens. I personally enjoyed this book and finished it in less than week. The story follows this theme, "Three rings for the Eleven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne, In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." The story begins with Frodo the little hobbit, who inherits a ring from his uncle Bilbo. Unfortunately, he learns from his friend, Gandalf the Wizard, that the ring is extremely evil, and wants to get back to his master, The dark Lord Sauron. Then starts the adventure of the Hobbit, who goes on a journey with a few companions to the only place where the ring can be destroyed, the Cracks of Doom in the fiery mountain Orodruin, inside Sauron's realm of Mordor. Chased by evil that does not sleep, this book gives you more than just entertainment, it also throws in some values and other ideas, like friendship, loyalty, courage, respect for one another. J.R.R Tolkiens did a great job developing the characters, and I recommend this book to the fans, but also to those who don't know Tolkiens, because this is a true piece of art, and also the best book I ever read.
