Summary: Aweful beyond all human conception...
Comment: This series is horrible beyond all conception. Tolkien overbloats EVERYTHING to the point where it's absolutely ridiculous, and I loose tract of the plot amidst unimportant details. Quite frankly my only thought is I DON'T CARE WHO EVERYONE'S FATHER IS, IF YOU WANT ME TO KNOW THEN WRITE A PREQUEL, JUST TELL THE STORY IT IDIOTIC BRIT! I don't know how someone who wrote something as good as "The Hobbit" could produce this junk. I think what happened was he had a bunch of notes left over, and wanted to cash in by writing a sequel, so he threw all the details he had onto a shallow plot, but sense it was to complicated to be called "dumbed-down" like most money-making sequels noone could attack it. And it was so complicated people have been trying to convince others for decades that they're intellegent because they can understand this book, but since noone understands it, noone can test them to see if they really do or not. Anyway, if you want a complicated plot you can understand, read "Dune" by Frank Herbert.

Summary: Lord de los Rings
Comment: I liked this book, even though it was not casual reading for me. I had to read it for school while my progress was being tracked. I hated that, and it took away from my enjoyment of the book, but I'd still recommend it to others.

Summary: A must read, ESPECIALLY if you enjoyed the film
Comment: I had not read any of Tolkien's work before seeing "The Fellowship of the Ring" in the theater. I have never read a book after seeing a film. I always assumed that knowing the story (from the film) would make it difficult to enjoy the book. That is definitely not true in this situation. While the film was visually breath taking and true to Tolkien's work, it left much of the written story out. The details and the scenes that were left out of the film (for the sake of time?) are worth delving into. Tolkien is an amazing talent. He is a master at building a great deal of emotion into the written word. When it comes to mounting anticipation, he is a marvel. I found myself holding my breath and frantically turning pages, even when I knew the outcome of a particular scene. Tolkien's writing is also descriptively rich. His landscapes and characters are very well developed and very beautiful. His imagination was, and is, something to be envied. "The Fellowship of the Ring" continues Bilbo's trials and tribulations through his long years in possession of the ring and his difficult decision to leave the Shire and pass all of his assets, including the ring, to his favorite nephew, Frodo Baggins. Frodo, upon discovering that the ring can work great evil, and that horrors beyond his worst nightmares are tracking the ring, must travel a great distance to Rivendell to seek the council of the wise. After being advised that the destruction of the ring is the only way to prevent further war and darkness in Middle Earth, and that hobbits may be the only creatures capable of the task, Frodo must choose what he is to do next.
