“Frankly, the best d*** story I've ever read. Along with the Hobbit, I've read this series well over 20 times in my life, and I never tire of it.Best for those who love a happy ending, but one where not everything ends perfectly. Classic good guys vs. the bad guys. So much better than the movie (which I also enjoyed thoroughly, despite its inconsistencies)! A must-read for everyone at least once.”
“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)”
