The lord of the rings trilogy is the most legendary series of books. These books cannot be compared to and have such a unique style of writing as well as story line that it cannot even be replicated again to such perfection and attention to detail. The first out of the three is the fellowship of the ring. The story is about a ring which needs to be destroyed as it contains great powers which cause the bearer to perform greedy and selfish acts. It possessess the bearer. The rings wants to go back to its owner who has set up a huge army in search for it. The second story goes more into the battle of the trilogy and the third story leads to the detruction of the ring and the retrieval of everything. Good overcomes evil. The books need to be read. I recommend these books for the older generation.
