“You have never read the Lord of the Rings! Well, you haven’t read anything”. Those were my best friend’s words to me about ten years ago. He then proceeded to badger me into reading it. Being, as I was, of a contradictory nature I refused on the grounds that I didn’t like fantasy novels and I didn’t own a copy ...

When I found this book in my home I wondered why it was there. I took it and over watched it, and I felt that I would have to read that book. When I opened it I started to enter in a mysteriously world created by the author where orcs, humans, elves, dwarfs, hobbits, trolls, and all kinds of strange creatures were living in times of war. I ...

The greatest fantasy epic of all time? Oh yes. As someone who has read plenty of fantasy epics, all of which written since Tolkien effectively created the genre, all of which were compared more in hyperbole than truth to the ‘Lord of the Rings’, I feel as qualified as any to judge, and Tolkien’s surpasses by a country mile those ...

The whole Harry Potter phenomenon, the worldwide thirst for stories, heroes and the merchandising that goes with it, is firmly rooted in a deep seated need that lives in all of us, eating away at our entire being. In the boring, humdrum mundanity of our normal existence there is little mystery, exciting or experience of the unknown. What J K ...

"Lord of the Rings" fascinated me through my teenage years, and offered me a richly-furnished world that I could escape to through Tolkien's books. Tolkien wrote this book as a sequel to his fairy story "The Hobbit", a children's book with half-formed characters in a wonderful world of adventure. ...

This book is a timeless classic and hopefully will bring as much enjoyment to other people as it has me. It was love at first read for me and I’m sure with the film due to be released very soon it will become very popular again and hopefully people will want to read the book instead of just watching the film because there’s no way its ...

Having just finished 'The Lord of the Rings', I can't let it pass without adding my opinion to the variety which are gathering here. 'The Lord of the Rings' is a packaged as a trilogy, however, Tolkien always intended (according to the introduction in my copy!), that they were on book divided in three, rather than ...

Book – Lord of the Rings I've just finished reading the Lord Of The Rings for the second time. My first reading of it was about three years ago. Amazingly, (and I think this says something of the quality of the story itself) I would say I enjoyed it even more this second time around. It is so sweeping and wide that it still ...

Although it is usually purchased as a 3 volume set (4 if you also get the prelude..The Hobbit), The Lord of the Rings is actually one novel. One big one (over 1200 pages). Tracing its history pre 1936, The Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece of fiction written by Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. With a background (and love of) mythology and ...

So ... Rewrite time is upon us again. This was one that had, just had to be re written. One of my very, very first ops here, and probably the worst. I hadn't even finished reading it when I 'op-ed' on it!! Well, it was one of my first, and it was in the days when I could hear the rustle of notes and the 'ker-ching' of the ...

This book is all about Frodo baggins. The son of Bilbo baggins. The book has 1000 pages so this book will take a long time to read. I have read every page! And on every page there was something worth reading. This book is full of mystery and fantasy. This has to be the greatest book ever made. Speaking truthfully this is only "proper" ...
