The Fellowship Of The Ring
The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring and steps into legend. A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer - to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high-fantasy novel[a] by English author and scholar J. R. R. Tolkien. Set in Middle-earth, intended to be Earth at some distant time in the past, the story began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 children's book The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work. Written in stages between 1937 and 1949, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling books ever written, with over 150 million copies sold

This trilogy was amazing. Unfortunately I saw the movies first so when I read the book everything I imagined was stuff I had already seen in the movies so sometimes I wish I could've have read the books first and see what I would have imagined the environments and people and creatures of Middle-Earth to look like without the influence of Peter Jackson. Nonetheless, it was still thrilling story with plenty of action and emotion throughout. The characters are beautifully written and like a trilogy should, it left with no cliff hangers on what was to happen next. Everything was beautifully tied up at the end like Aragorn becoming king, the ring being destroyed along with the defeat of Sauron, the safety and peace now in Middle-Earth, and the fact that the hobbits got to go home and be at peace after the adventure. Even though there are some moments that can feel a bit slow and long with Tolkien describing their surroundings (mainly in the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring) if you read through it slowly to understand everything he is saying, you will start getting into the more exciting parts of the book. In my opinion, this book is something everyone must read and enjoy the history of the world that Tolkien created and of course the story he presents you with.

I am currently at school, but since i am done with my work so i would like to write a review on this masterpiece. I personally like the films more, but i love the book as well. It has amazing characters, realms, and plot. My one issue is that young readers might find this book hard to pay attention to, for there is so much detail and buildup ( other than helms deep) to events in this book. I have read the harry potter series, and they do not even compare to this book. I couldn't recommend this book enough to readers everywhere.

i read all the books in Tolkiens Lord of Rings series. To me it was related to Hitlers invasion of Poland and the 2nd world war in general .It was made to be as that war was with Hitler as the war lord and the ring England as he desired our island so much he tried his all to win over us. It was a great read all through .i was about 15 and could not put the books down I had to read it all from start to finish then find the next book in series. The Hobbit was the best of all of them as it set the story so well as an adventure .Then opened into a world of so much friction that blackness of mines and armies of hell marching over the horizon. It was a master piece that fed the mind with energy passion and tears. Still in my mind ,all of it,today 60 years later.
