Summary: Lord of the Rings Rocks!
Review: I love these books. This series is for anyone. Period. It has everything a reader could want: action, adventure, the ongoing battle of good and evil. It contains your greatest fears, such as Ringwraiths, which are skeletal beings with piercing eyes and horrible powers. It also contains one of a human's greatest desires: power. Power contained inside a little Ring. The story focuses on a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins. It is his job to destroy the Ring. Along with him are more Hobbits, a wizard named Gandalf, a future king, a prince of Gondor, an elf, and a dwarf, thus giving the first book its name, The Fellowship of the Ring. In these books, you will find a perilous journey, a war for the Ring, and a little creature with luminous eyes named Gollum. If this sounds interesting to you, read the books. If not, read them anyway!

Summary: Greatest Story Ever, Period
Review: One cannot describe the amazing story that is the Lord of the Rings(LotR) in merely a few paragraphs. J.R.R. Tolkien has definitely created one of the greatest stories ever told. After I was informed that The Lord of the Rings was voted Book of the Century I decided that I should give it a chance. I can now say that I was rewarded quite well. The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy masterpiece. Combining elements of a medieval world including kings, queens, knights on horseback, castles, dungeons, and large scale ground warfare with fantasy elements such as wizards, trolls, elves, sorcery, and enchanted places, the story becomes very believable and extremely intriguing. Without revealing too much, the story is an epic quest of a small group to save the known world from the dark forces of Sauron. Although the prequel to the Lord of the Rings is the Hobbit which was written more for older children, it is still a must read before the adult epic LotR is undertaken as it familiarizes the reader with the beautiful style and wonderful world of Tolkien. The Hobbit is a great novel in itself but the reader must realize that LotR is much darker and deals with a great deal more conflict and character development which creates for a grand, entertaining experience. Readers will fall in love with the characters throughout the entire LotR Trilogy as each is so much different from the other making a very diverse group during the journey. Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest stories ever written and should be read by all as it has elements that can be enjoyed by everyone. I now only wish that the story was not over so quickly even though it lasts for more than 1000 pages. Be forwarned, however, as all other stories read afterwards will pale in comparison to Tolkien's masterpiece.

Summary: One edition which rules them all....
Review: This red leather bound edition is a must have for any Tolkien Fan. This was given to me as a gift for Christmas back in 1988 and I have cherished it ever since. The leather is of high quality as is the paper upon which the novel is printed. The best thing about this edition is the fact it contains all three parts of the novel in ONE volume, the way it was intended to be. If you are a fan of the novel, then this is a must have for your collection.

Summary: A Great New Publishing
Review: The Lord of the Rings. If you have not heard of it by now you should buy this. This is a complete edition that has all three of the books (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King) as well as the appendix. This is one of the best fantasy stories ever (I myself have read it many times) and will soon be a movie. So, but this great book while you wait for the film's release!

Summary: Every Genre has its Masterpiece and this is it...
Review: Like most, I read this trilogy when I was 13 or 14. It floored me. I actaully wept when it was done because I already knew ther would be no more adventures for Frodo and Samwise. I read a lot of fantasy aftwards, but eventually I gave up because every one seemed to copy LOTR in some way or another (some were overt copies like the Sword Of Shannara series, while some were slight variations like the Thomas Convenant series by Donaldson). I am re-reading this edition because it claims to be slightly more complete than previous ones. This means that some of the 'corrections' contained in the editions from the 60's and 70's have been put back the way the author intended. So far it has lived up to its hype and I am enjoying every minute of it. If you have never read this series and you consider yourself a fan of fantasy or sci-fi (all the famous 'Space Opera' stories are loosely based on the same story arc), then you MUST read it. If you've only read it once or twice, read it again and remember what it was to enjoy an 'epic fantasy' for the first time.

Summary: An absolute MUST for fantasy fanatics!
Review: If you like fantasy then the Lord of the Rings trilogy is for you! Tolkien does a brilliant job and you will find yourself captivated for hours on end! But to get the best effect and a better understanding of this trilogy, I highly recommend reading his other works concerning middle-earth. These include "The Hobbit", "The Silmarillion", and having the atlas to middle earth helps to see where the story takes place. It's almost as if this story really happened. It's just that well documented. Incredible! A must buy!
