The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien Reviews

Well, The Lord of the Rings then. It's a classic, yes. But only by definition. To be fair, it hasn't dated well at all. I'm sure that almost everyone on the planet is now familar with at least parts of this tale, and that's no easy feat. And it also means I can dispense with explaining too much about the story. However, ...

The Lord of the Rings is a great book which has been read by several generations since it was first published almost 50 years ago. the author Tolkien started to work on this book as early as in the 30s of the previous century, and has re-written large parts of it after World War II. It is unbelievable, but I have read "The ...

Anyone who is a fan of fantasy in anyway will instantly be able to connect with the lord of the rings. It is the bible (no racist comments intended please feel free to replace with your own religions text if applicable) of fantasy today. JJR tolken’s ability to create a whole world and atmosphere in his old world is amazing. Everything ...

I am a relative latecomer to the goings on in Middle Earth having only read the Hobit and Lord of the Rings for the first time around a year an a half ago. I'd always wondered what all the fuss was about. Surely these weird Sci-fi type books couldn't be up to all that much, could they? Well yes, they certainly could. My ...

I have read this book so many times, but it just keeps getting better! If you like Elves, Wizards or anything magical then this book and its prequel The Hobbit are a must have. I remember the first time the Hobbit was read to me, I was only about 5 but I will never forget my older brother reading it to me, now my uncle is reading it to his 5 ...

Amazing doesn't even come close to describing the quality of this book. After reading The Hobbit at a young age I became enthralled in reading fantasy and all about wizards and witches. Because of my age I was stuck reading small novels such as the Discworld collection. I found that after a tough day I could come home and be swept away to ...

Wow... I've just finished the 'Fellowship of the rings' and I'm steaming through the 'Two Towers'. I started this book shortly before I went to see the film. Patence is not something that I am at all good at, so instead of waiting to finish the first part I went to see the film. WOW!!! which is all I can ...

This book was always one of those I fancied reading, but was put off by the shear size of it - it's quite a daunting stack of pages when all three "episodes" are within the same book! About a year ago I picked up a copy of Lord of the Rings and starting reading. I kept reading until several chapters had flown by and I was ...

A good read - Advantages: Thrilling - Disadvantages: Can drag on

This is the second book in the trilogy this is the movie tat is coming out in november now if you havent read the books but you have seen the movie then this will tell you what will happen in the second part to our heros This second part of a three-part story is centered around the treacheries of the wizard Saruman -- commanding a huge ...

The vast sweep of the story is overwhelming, it emcompasses huge armies struggling in a massive landscape, but at no time do the characters submerge in this. Tolkien paints the small canvas with a warm and humourous touch. His characters are finely drawn and utterly believable. As in life, when luck is against the good guys, a spark of grim humour ...

Lord Of The Rings and the tale of The Hobbit are both gripping stories that transform the mind of the reader. By this I mean that it takes your mind through a journey of adventure and fantasy, filled with surprises and creatures unheard. The most revelling thing about Tolkein's books is their astonishing readability. I find myself rereading ...

THE LESSON "Geesh," Marge said to herself as she hopped out of bed and padded off to the bathroom, "this is three nights in a row for this," while plopping her plush bottom on the toilet seat and relieving her bladder of its contents. She flushed the john and was almost to her bedroom door when she heard a strange noise ...

This trilogy of 6 books may sound confusing at first. It is split into two books per published part, and thus three parts. The film of the first part (Fellowship of the Ring) has already come out. The books combine solid intellectual thought with a ravishing story line. This is truly a masterpiece. Lord of the Rings was once the ...

The most oft-quoted line about The Lord of the Rings is: "The world is divided into those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and those who are going to read them". I would amend this to: "The world is divided into those who have read Lord of the Rings fifty times and adore it, those who have tried to ...

The Lord Of The Rings was recently voted the book of the century. What is it about JRR Tolkien’s epic tale of swords and sorcery that has made it so popular with so many readers? Now that a film adaptation of the book has been made I thought it would be a good time to take a closer look at the original text. WARNING THIS IS A LONG ...

The COCK of the COCK Trilogy, and its prequel The Hobbit should have a place in the library of every home. These are COCKs you will read again and again. First introduced to the world of Middle-Earth in my teens, I must have read the trilogy 20 times at least. Every read bCOCK out more surprCOCKes - sentences you skimmed over, or just mCOCKsed ...

We all had very high hopes of Tim at Melbourne 2 weeks ago. He started very well oping with the weather and looked as if he had the ability and potential to go very far. All the top seeds were falling and this also lead the way to make it an easy path to a grand slam final for our Tim. In his 1st round match he beat Jim John of ...

This book is wrote by JRR Tolkien, originally to be one story split across several books chronicling the history of middle earth however Tolkien got fixated on the story of Bilbo and Frodo and wrote extensively on them. The story follows the adventures of a Hobbit called Frodo who possesses a ring which contains immense power and is ...
