A Classic Companion.

Advantages: The Best book of all Time.
Disadvantages: none for me.

...but was put off by the fact that it’s been reviewed seventy-eight times so far. So what can I add that is new to any former reviews? The answer lies simply in the fact that this is, and will continue to be my favourite book of my lifetime. If this sounds a sweeping statement so be it, but I have read the book about fifteen times, possibly more, I get my old copy down at least every two years since the first time I read it some thirty years ago. I ...

This was given to me as a Christmas present and at £50 will be rarely read as I intend to pass this down through my family. You could offer me £1000 for the book and I would keep it despite being short of money, such is the value I place ... more

You've seen the films, now read the books!

Advantages: One of the most loved books in English literature.
Disadvantages: None if you are willing to accept Tolkien's sub-creation.

Before reviewing the Lord of the Rings I need to make a number of opening comments for no better reason that they need to be said. Initially I am aware of how many times this work has been reviewed and I earnestly hope I can bring some fresh perspectives to those who have gone before me (all 80 of you at the last count). Next I would just like to make it clear that I love these books like a treasured possession, they are close to my heart and my ...
...years to adulthood. In reality the books remain at that right hand corner of my bookshelves at home, easily accessible and ready to be read again when the mood takes me. So far this has occurred at least 5 times and I can honestly say that the Lord of the Rings has been my companion through the majority of my literate life.Every time I read it I find something new during my escape to Middle Earth. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, this review ...

One Book to rule them all

Advantages: great and fantastic fairytale, one of the best books ever written
Disadvantages: a lot of fighting and war

The Lord of the Rings is a marvellous and great book which has been read with enthusiasm by several generations since it was first published almost 50 years ago. J.R.R. Tolkien started to work on this book as early as in the 30s of the previous century, and he has re-written large parts of it after World War II. It is unbelievable, but I have read "The Lord of the Rings" for the very first time this year - but certainly not for the last time. ...
...wanted to read the sequel during my summer vacation this year. In total, the three volumes have more than 1,300 pages (plus several hundred pages of appendices). But once you have started to read, you can't put it away, you just want to continue to the end without any breaks. Having received a GBP 20 gift certificate from amazon.co.uk, I ordered the paperback version of all three volumes in one box (the books itself were GBP 15.99 but including ...

Not the greatest book of the century

Advantages: Rich in detail, wonderful and engaging story.
Disadvantages: Restricts the imagination for the reader, Poor female characters, Too much pointless material

...having got a third of the way into the first volume I just gave up, bored to tears. But after moving house at the end of the last year the dusty copies found their way from the top of my bookcase and I vowed that I was going to read them if it killed me. I started them again last week and have managed to finish them in just seven nights, at a thousand pages with a life to lead too aren’t you impressed? The word epic could have been invented for ...
...clear of the ‘classics’ as I find then hard going and I read as a means of enjoyment not intellectual challenge. I did however enjoy the film and have yet to read a book that wasn’t far superior to the film. Also I couldn’t wait another year to find out what was going to happen. This is the tale of the great ring forged by the evil lord Sauron in the fires of mount doom. Sauron bound the majority of his power in with the ring and when it was lost ...

And on the way they have bout a thousand different troubles and situations like 3 trolls who were really hungry, many spiders who were really hungry too, orcs an wolves who were also as hungry as anyone else and wanted to eat the poor hobbit with his dwarf friends.

Review of The Lord Of The Rings: BBC Radio 4 Dramatisation (Audio Book) - J.R.R. Tolkien

Lord Of The Rings the first, book one

Advantages: once you get the boring stuff out of the way, the book is good
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 companion. You meet loads of interesting characters on the way including, Tom who is like the god of all land, sea and sky in the area were he lives. And tom one day stumbles across the poor hobbits in a spot of bother and helps them out. You ...

Review of The Lord of the Rings (3 Book Box set) - J. R. R. Tolkien

The old that is strong does not wither

Advantages: True to a fantastic story, excellent actors, great music
Disadvantages: Finding time to listen, might surprise those who only know the film

Before Peter Jackson?s remarkable film trilogy, if you didn?t want to plough your way through the mighty tomes that make up J.R.R.Tolkein?s ?Lord of the Rings?, the only option available was the BBC Radio 4 radio adaptation, which was first broadcast in 1981. Fortunately, this is one of the finest pieces of radio drama ever made, with a host of star names playing the roles. VERY QUICK PLOT OVERVIEW The second age of middle earth is drawing to an end, which marks the passing of the age of elves and the coming of the age of men. The last struggle of the old order is to ensure that the One Ring of power made by the elves? great foe, Sauron, is destroyed, even if this ensures the doom of the elves. Unfortunately, destroying this ring is not an easy task, but it falls to Frodo to carry it out. Frodo is a hobbit ? hobbits are small ...
