    The Lord of the Rings trilogy became one of my all-time favorites after I rediscovered it through the Fellowship of the Ring movie. My father had read us bits of this when I was a child. I hungrily read the book after seeing that film the first time. I'd finished by my third viewing. It was a great read from start to finish. The movies gave me the look, the book, gave me the full story and a life-long love of Middle-Earth.

  • This just wasn't my type of book. I never did get into it as much as other people have sworn they did. I don't understand all of the hype. Oh well. I tried, and I finished it. I hate to put a book down once I've started reading it. No matter how bad it is. Not that this one was bad. Just not my thin ... Continue

  • Love these books

  • This one book contains the 3 Tolkein books (minus The Hobbit) that tells the story of The Lord of the Rings. I liked having one huge book to go through, rather than the 3 separate books. I could keep going as I tore through one story into the next.

    This one book contains the 3 Tolkein books (minus The Hobbit) that tells the story of The Lord of the Rings. I liked having one huge book to go through, rather than the 3 separate books. I could keep going as I tore through one story into the next.

    I like the books so much better than the movie, because the movies cannot give true justice into the world that Tolkein created, or the creatures. In these books, you get to really use your imagination and "see" things through Tolkein's eyes, not just the director of the movie who picked and chose what parts of the story to elaborate on or throw away.

    A great classic read for anyone who likes fantasy and adventure!

  • I'll probably never "finish". I find reading J.R.R.'s masterpiece quite tedious.
