“Return to this book once and again”
“hey it was good but i just thought that it was a bit to drawn out and this was the first book i read by the author...still good just not as good as the sequels”
“If you have read the first 2 installments it would not do justice to the story if you don't read this third & final part. It's vintage Tolkien- "wordy" would be an understatement. But who among us have been to middle earth? So if it takes him more than a few pages to give us a colorful picture of middle earth, then read on ye faithful lover of the written words. Enjoy.”
“anyone else think that it took to long for the book to get into the actual fellowship? I counted over 250 pages before they got to rivendell! that's over half the book!”
“For the most part the book was pretty good. i didnt really care for all of the details and i believe that some of them could have been omitted. i also didnt enjoy how long the story is but that comes with all of the details. It is definetely different from the movie but what movie/book combo isnt like that. if i had to give it any thumbs i would give it just one :”
“That is true, Lilli Ann :) Tolkien and Lewis were in a writing group together called The Inklings.”
“I don't know if my memory serves me right, but is it true that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were contemporaries or knew each other? Whatever, both authors are profoundly brilliant and their books are masterful!”
“I second the motion, tanya b! Tolkien is a master! The book, aside from such a brilliant fantasy work, is profound! Reading the entire series of Tolkien's story is an experience in itself. Reflect on the deeper message it brings, it is deeply moving and inspiring! I highly recommend these books. A must read!”
“The master of epic fantasy. In spite of some great fantasy writers out there now Tolkein is still the master.”
“i think it is the best book in the world(along with two towers)”
