    Advantages Advantages once you get the boring stuff out of the way, the book is good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too much description

    I am going to talk about the very first lord of the rings book, The fellowship of the ring part one. This book, has a great deal of adventure in, and doesn't lack in description. If anyone has read this book, im sure they would agree that this book may have a bit tooo much description in. Description is good, but when you get too explaining every blade of grass to the last detail you may get bored. Even though i wanted to quit reading it so bad, i kept going because i know it does get better. You go on this wonderful adventure with Frodo Baggins from Bag end. Along with Sam, his loyful ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of The Lord of the Rings (3 Book Box set) - J. R. R. Tolkien by serafinasenior 23/11/2007
    a story that tells about everything in life. a meeting - a farewell, a happiness - sorrow, smiles and tears, peace - war, pride - cowardness, everythings chained in a beautifull flow. Some brave enough to face the reality, someone has to do something for everybody, sombebody has to die for his belief. All of us has to copy the spirit of every character in the story. The incredible journey shall be continue to find the true love indeed

    Advantages Advantages new style of cover

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no pictures

    this boxset is the three books in one which is good so you dont have to go out and buy them all!but generally they r good books much better than harry potter and they really capture your imagination. They have a much better looking cover than the old ones more adult if you like. It contains the fellowship of the ring, the two towers, the return of the king which all make the Lord of the Rings which have recently been made into films one for each book. i have read loads of books and they are usually war ones or biograghys but this is possibly the best i have ever read. you havent read a book ... more

    Advantages Advantages three books in one

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. i already watch the first one but not yet the two other. so it is good to read the book. since it is three in one it is affordable. when you read the book, you still can watch cd or dvd for the movie but it is good to have the book because, since it is a book, your imagination works on how it will happen, your brain will works in it. You will learn more through reading a lot, and since these books has a good story i know you will enjoy in reading these books. i wanted to buy this but as ... more

    Advantages Advantages Best in class

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long paragraphs

    Now these books will appeal to all ages and fan types from followers to people who have just heard the title. I hate the cliche 'no as good as the book' but this is no truer than for this. The shear detail the J.R.R.Tolkein go's through is surreal. It has sceans that even the extended movies don't contain it shows sides of the characters that the movies don't. It simply takes you away and it is hard to put the book down. If you are reading it for yourself its but for parents who are trying to get their children interested in literature of you want to read them bed time story's this is perfect ... more
