Reviews for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
A Long but Satisfying Read.
It takes a certain skill to be able to read a Tolkein book. A strong sense of concentration and an ability to keep a firm grasp of complicated plots is definitely needed.
After reading this book, my belief that books are always better than (superior to) their big screen counterparts is even stronger. Whilst Bilbo's birthday party, and I'm assuming here that you've watched the movie, only takes five minutes to describe on screen, Tolkein's written description takes a mere fifty pages to flick through. Each detail is painstakingly recorded, down to the littlest hair on the head of the littlest hobbit child. The history of the Hobbits alone requires at least an hour's reading pleasure.
If you feel a little in need of literary revival, then the Fellowship of the Rings is only one step of three towards your goal.
Well worth the time and effort if you're into book series (trilogies), your appreciation for the ultimate fantasy master will grow a hundred fold. by Almira Thaliph
