Always a good read when in doubt. Audiobook 100/10 can make any work better….specifically pruning bushes.

As this is the first book in a trilogy, a lot of it is set-up, but once the story actually gets rolling, it is amazing. This book tells the story of the beginning of a quest to save the world of Middle Earth. It’s very long and some of the…

J.R.R. Tolkien has made a TRUE fantasy classic. I feel like this book is the best out of the others (Two Towers and Return of the King). It was a slow read for me, a bit complex at points (points I couldn't follow at). If you're a classic…

If you don't think about the movies, (which are phenomenal), you'll enjoy this book, (and the rest of the trilogy).

This is the first in a "trilogy" as a convenience for the publisher. The three books form one complete novel. The pacing is carefully and measured, particularly in the beginning, but picks up towards in the third section as three or four…

Very well written and plotted, although admittedly a bit boring at parts as other comments have said! :) One of my favorites; but the first time i read through it i had to stop and start over again a few months later. I just finished the…

Sorry devoted readers! Apparently when they get to Bree it gets interesting. I love the artistic description, also the poems, but the only interesting part was very scarce. I love books like these but when most of it is description than…

Not a good book. I was surprised because the movies were so good, however I just found this book to be awfully boring as it dragged on for a while. I would recommend the movies, but not the book.

Despite being written nearly 7 decades ago, the first book in the famous Lord of the Rings trilogy still remains just as powerful and its impact on the fantasy genre remains unrivaled. In the ancient land of Middle-Earth, Tolkien…

Where to even begin with this? Tolkien might be my favourite author of all time. Few books have made me so emotional, even after reading them several times each beat is no less powerful for it. The whole world has a quality of scale and…
