And so I arrived, again, at the conclusion of Tolkien's epic tale. I honestly think that this may be my favourite of the three volumes. How to adequately describe the ultimate fight of good vs evil, told in Tolkien's masterful tone of storytelling? The Lord of the Rings will endure for generations t...

A wonderful ending to an amazing trilogy.Read my full review here.Sometimes I find that the final book in a series can be sort of disappointing. That is not the case for this book. Tolkien has managed, once again, to create such an intricate story. There was a lot of foreshadowing though, again, som...

I don’t know how I can possibly praise Tolkien more than I have in the past. Reading The Return of the King was just…an amazing experience. I plowed through the story itself and then lost myself for another couple hundred pages in the appendices and the history of the world, and I came away knowing ...

After three years I finally finished this series. I've been attempting to read it again and again throughout the years, but three years ago I decided that "now I'm going to do this shit". And so I did. I read the first book, and had a loong break. Started the second one, without really finishing it,...

The first thing I should say for those unfamiliar with it, is that The Return of the King isn't a self-contained book, one of three in a trilogy, but the third volume of what was conceived as one novel--thus when you look to the table of contents you'll see it starts with "Book V" and in some editio...

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...

Once again, I need to agree with Tolkien's warning that these are not separate books. This is clearly the conclusion of the story and this volume starts at the peak of action.I think the most surprising thing in this volume was the bit of feminism in Eowyn's character. First we see her fight with ...

I'm not a big fan of fantasy but... this book is not about fantasy is it? ;) I enjoy reading about mystic creatures - the way it has been written, I felt it's all real. The whole story gives you a possibility to enter a world where everything and nothing is possible. All characters re so real, ther...
