  Amazing

  I finally had a chance to read this amazing book in its original language when I was back in Wales. I absolutely loved it even more. I cannot recommend it enough to all kinds of readers - just give it a try. If so many people love it there must be a good reason.

  Wow, I have read the entire Lord of The Rings Trilogy. That is an accomplishment all in itself for this new year. I have to say that I am not a fan of these books and that while they are okay, they were not my best books ever. I found them long and dragging and very flat. Yes there was suspense and climaxes, but in all, I found it not very hooking. I was waiting for that grab that would keep me interested the whole way through.

  Of the 4 books (Hobbit included) The Hobbit is my favorite, but of the LOTR trilogy, "The Two Towers" was most certainly my favorite.

  Will I ever re-read this series, chances are likely, but I want to get through the history of Middle Earth first.
