Ok, here i will write a few more words. I have just finished this book for the second time and I feel it needs to be commented on. The epic battle between good and evil adds an extra dimension to the story. The characters are noble and to be respected and for once, the goodguys are the underdogs but still come through. It is a ...

How do you even begin to talk about this book? I doff my imaginary hat to anyone and everyone who has offered an opinion. Like so many people, I grew up on The Lord of the Rings. My father first began reading it to me when I was four years old, and it has stayed with me ever since, colouring who I am. Spanning three volumes (The ...

Lord of the Rings was my seminal introduction to the genre of science fantasy and I found myself drawn into a compelling world of mystical elves, dwarves, endearing and obstinate hobbits, grimly resolute men, good magic versus bad in a world not so far from our own. The vast sweep of the story is overwhelming, it emcompasses huge armies ...

There are lots of views expressed about this book here, but some how I feel especially qualified to review it. My dad was reading this book to my mum when she was in labour with me! Pretty much every year since it was read to me, and now I am still not bored of it. This is one book that captivates the imagination, not just the first time you ...

I know that there are sooo many op’s on this book, but I feel I have to add my own praise to this masterpiece. Lord of The Rings is without question the best book I have, and probably will ever have read. Most of you by now will now the story – The Dark Lord Sauron is trying to take over power of all of Middle Earth and to ...

Lord Of The Rings is by far the best book i have ever read. At first sight it looks daunting, about 4" of text. However don't despair! It is well worth it. I must say that it is probably better to buy it in the 3 books. This makes it much eaisier to read. One of the main differences that sets it apart from other books is the ...

Funny how this should appear in the top five books section, but I recently finished reading this, after many years of meaning to! Like many other people around the UK, I got a four book boxed set, giving the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings in paperback form. After a few weeks hard reading, my mind was buzzing with hobbits, orcs, dwarfs and ...

Imagine having the skill to give greed, selfishness and hate a look, voice and personality. Imagine being gifted enough to give a face to innocence, kindness and gentleness. J.R.R. Tolkien had that gift. If you don't believe me, let me introduce you to Gollum and Frodo. When I was a child, I was in love with the Chronicles of ...

Having read The Lord of The Rings, I was quite simply amazed! I thought that Tolkien has created an amazing, realistic imaginary world that is accompayned by a breathtaking plot. My favourite feature of the book is the description, which formed a realistic vision of Middle - Earth (the world the novel is set in). The characters, such as ...

This was the first fantasy book I ever read, and that was about 20 years ago. Ever since it has remained one of the best books I've ever read. For people who are completely new to the Tolkein books, it may be better to start with the Hobbit - but that is not important. The Lord Of The Rings chronicles the adventures of a ...

Lord of the Rings is a bit like Star Wars in that it tends to attract fanatical devotion from anyone who enjoys it. If that’s the effect it will have on you, you’ll know after about 50 pages. This opinion is going to be a bit more sceptical. It was the basis for a whole genre of books, movies, games, whatever. It remains ...

Lord of the rings. -----Plot----- **Hobbit** Once upon a time there lived a hobbit. He was small and furry, like all other hobbits and he lived quietly until some wizard called Gandalf decided that he really needs a hobbit for his ‘special adventure’ and so they go, along with a dozen or so dwarfs all to get ...

If you haven't heard of 'The Lord of the Rings' then you are probably dead. It consistently tops all those 'best books of the Millenium' charts that were popular a year or two ago. It also continues to annoy 'serious' book critics who despair that writers such as Martin Amis (Akhh! Curse! Spit!) are not as widely ...

Perhaps The Lord of the Rings is immortal, and it wouldn't surprise me if it is still read by people in a thousand years time. The greatest thing I find about this book is the way Tolkien defies logic and etiquette, he invents his own language and rules, and the book is all the better for it. To read a book like this in modern times is like to ...

I have read (at least I tried to read it) but I was trully bored. I believe that if somebody is 16 years old and above will find it very boring! It is just a tale. Too many names, places and situations to memorise that most of the time do not make much sense. It is too long and you get lost after reading two chapters. I prefer to watch the film ...
