This was a GREAT read; very, very satisfying. I enjoyed it even more than the first one. Maybe things will keep building and the third one will be even better. The tale continues unraveling...and part of the joy is just the actual reading of how masterfully Tolkien unravels the tale.As Sam so simply and eloquently puts it: "The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folks of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of sport, as you might say. But that's not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folks seem to have been just landed in them, usually--their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chance, like us, of turning back, only they didn't. And if they had, we shouldn't know, because they'd have been forgotten." Yes, exactly.

It took me a while to get into this book, but it was a great read. I fell into the world of Middle Earth and absolutely loved it.

Tolkien's universe pretty much laid out the groundwork for every high fantasy tale thereafter. Why bother making anything new? Tolkien creates an entire universe... and forgets that he is supposed to be writing a novel.

I'm sorry. I can understand being a raving LOTR fan. But this book absolutely put me to sleep. And no, I am not a classic-hater at all. I just can't get into this one.
