I was not expecting or planning on reading this in only a couple days. I had planned on reading this a little each day throughout the month. Needless to say when I became hooked early in the first chapter and couldn't stop thinking about this book, even when I was reading other books, that plan got ...
"But," said Sam, and tears started in his eyes, "I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done." "So I thought too, once. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam,...
I didn't find this book very special, it was kinda long and wordy. The whole book was made up of descriptions of scenery and characters talking to each other. And, since this book was written about 60 years ago, the English is weird and was hard for me to understand. Also, there was no character des...
My spouse seems to think I'll profit from re-reading the Tolkien trilogy. We'll see. This is the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and is quite a good story. It is not nearly so well told, I think, as is The Hobbit. The latter has much more charm in its writing. Perhaps Tolkien got too engross...
Having just watched the Fellowship movie for the first time and read the books for the second time I will have to be careful not to confuse the two for this review!I first read the Lord of the Rings trilogy at 12 years of age, and now at 19 I found that I couldn't remember anything other than the va...
When I started reading this I was so surprised that I actually like it. I'm reading it for a class at university. My professor loves these books so much! See my full review here.Tolkien’s descriptions are so beautiful and intricate. He really knows how to paint a strong picture in the reader’s mind ...
The first thing I should say for those unfamiliar with it, is that The Fellowship of the Ring isn't a self-contained book, one in a trilogy, but the first volume of what was conceived as one novel--thus expect an abrupt ending and have The Two Towers ready to grab. The Lord of the Rings is a "must-t...
What can i possibly say in a review of one of the world's most read books? I enjoyed it, i found it a little hard going in places, but finished it. Read first years ago, and then again after seeing the film. After second read, I found bits that i had missed first time round, and that made some parts...
I thought it was well planned out and a really good book. I loved how the characters changed and grew as the story went on and how the story is laid out, slowly unveiling itself as it goes.
So, back in April we saw the movie of The Hobbit and I felt compelled to re-read it (see review posted on Goodreads). After reading The Hobbit, I realized that it had been over 15 years since I had read the Trilogy and while I enjoyed the movies as they came out I didn't really remember the books w...
