    • 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.

    • 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 had to buy the boxed set when the movies came out. I have very old, very delicate copies of each book from a 1967 printing with the foreward by Peter S. Beagle, but they have been read so often that they are crumbling away.

Book Description

The second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure The Lord of the Rings

"Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron." -- C. S. Lewis

"Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and new creatures, from the beauty of Lothlorien to the horror of Mordor, adventures to hold us spell-bound, and words of beauty and evocation to bring all vividly before us." --Sunday Telegraph

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
