The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Book 1)

Best series EVER written

This is the perfect book to read after reading the Hobbit...There are several pages were the flow of the events is very slow, it's after leaving the shire, but in the Pracing Pony where Strider (Aragorn) steps in, the book changes and it's hard to stop reading it. I love Tolkien!!!

Read this a while ago...it was pretty good. I'm not much for fantasy, but it was a good read.

Great read!

Long-overdue start of the series..was in a read book watch movie bash movie phase.. realized for the first time that the movie was better than the book..told the story well, removing boring parts and pacing it right, but well the source of the material has to be appreciated..taking away 1 star for the long and boring songs

A great read in the Lord of the Rings Series.

Well, I didn't quite finish it. This guy is WAY too wordy. The story is good, but drawn out. Needless to say I will not be reading anymore of his books. I think I'll stick to watching the movies.

Tolkien was extremely genius. He's not only written this epic high fantasy novel, but also developed a new language (Sindarin). I am also amazed by the characters he created.Hobbit, elven, dwarf...not to mention Gollum and many more. It needs to go beyond imagination to do this kind of masterpiece. Continuing to the second trilogy of The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

I've been reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy at least once a year for seventeen years. I'm always finding some new little detail that makes the story even richer. One of the best books of the 20th century.
