Summary: A story that you would die to be a part of
Review: The Lord of the Rings is the only book you can read over and over again. You can either take it from the beginning, or simply jump to the chapters and scenes that you enjoy the most. It is a book that at its ending it leaves you with a somewhat bitter mood, with the desire to follow those who depart to the West, to learn even more about stories of Middle Earth. Indeed when it is finished you wish you could just forget all about it and read it again as for the first time. Certainly those who have felt what I have for this book can understand what I am talking about. For everybody else, I hope you may be able to read any book which will cause you such feelings.

Summary: The Best!
Review: "The Fellowship of the Ring" is the best fantasy novel that I've ever read! The character development and plot depth is something that you don't find in every novel. The other two books in "The Lord of the Rings" series are extremely good as well, but I'd have to say that "The Fellowship of the Ring" is the best of the three. This is, in my opinion, the best fantasy/adventure novel ever written! The preclude to it "The Hobbit" is also a worthy tale and should be read before the actual "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I've read it many times, and will go on reading it over and over again for the rest of my life! The best!Other good novels include: The "Dune" chronicles by Frank Herbert. "The Hobbit" and the other two novels in "The Lord of the Rings" series, which are: "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King"

Summary: a wonderful adventure
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring is a wonderful, intreging, enthralling adventure story. The characters are well rounded and three dimensional - a rare occurence in works of fiction. The prose wafts along agreeably, absorbing the reader into the incredible world of Middle Earth. The first time I read this book I was so enchanted by the whole aura of the setting that for weeks I lived in Middle Earth alone. Now, I read it not for the story - which I know inside out - but for the feeling of home I get when reading it. The warmth and detail of Tolkien's writting is uplifting. A true masterpiece.

Summary: almost perfect
Review: everyone told me that this first book was in fact a bit boring but that the other two parts were much more enthusiastic. i don't see why because i'm just reading the 2nd part now. 1st part is as great as the 2nd one(as far as i've read of the 2nd part).i just loved it and felt myself living in that world too. i could even cry when i thought that Gandalf was dead forever.

Summary: A great book.Not the best out of the three.But still great
Review: The Fellowship of the Ring is Great.But not the best of the three.I'm half-way through The Two Towers and I can say it is better then the Lord of the Rings.I think what makes it not as good is it's not as action packed as The Two Towers and it has one LONG chapter called The Counil of Elrond.true this chapter gives you all sorts of information.But it's too long and nothing happens.However this book is worthy of it's fame.

Summary: You either love it or hate it...
Review: I cannot possible ask anyone to read any book more then the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit. No other books have entertained me as much and got my imagination going. The great storyline, the talented poems and songs, and all the rest. The only problem is you either find it exciting or you grow bored quickly. I have seen both sides, argued my points, and found it a moot discussion. if you can get through Book I you're going to love the rest!

Summary: The original and, still, the best
Review: I'm an avid reader, though not a fantasy/sci-fi fan under normal circumstances and I've read many of the more well-known works, many of which I enjoyed thoroughly. The Lord of the Rings, of all the books I've read, is my unquestionable favorite. No other book is so rich and detailed with the history and peoples of its world and no other book tells a tale of such magnitude and beauty. So many people today have such short attention spans and require such consistant melodrama that it's no wonder the beauty and detail of Tolkein's masterpiece ends up wasted. I've read The Lord of the Rings many times and know the story and its conclusion well but I don't read them for the story anymore, I read them to return to Middle Earth. For anyone who has yet to read these books, I envy you.

Summary: It sucked!
Review: I read the "Concerning Hobbits" section and the first chapter and then immediatly returned it to my library. I couldn't keep my eyes open it was so boring.

Summary: The best book of all time
Review: I have read the trilogy five or six times and I can honestly say it is the best series of books I have ever read. One wonders why a full length film version has never been attempted. For those attempting it for the first time I would recommend skiping the intro and going straight to Chapter 1. Once you have read the first chapter you will be hooked and then is a good time to backtrack to learn a little more of 'Hobbit Lore. I truely envy you your first reading.

Summary: Enchanting
Review: I don't like formal writing, but I made an exception here. I finished it in several hours and immediately began the search for The Two Towers and The Return of the King. The other two were worth the wait, though I got slightly confused at several points.
