Book Reviews of The Lord of the Rings. 3 Vol. Set
Book Review: Lord of the Rings Book Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Hello there,
I am about half-way through the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am loving it. I am amazed at how Tolkien is so descriptive in his writing and puts so much thought to it. The first one-hundred pages are a little rough, but after that it is impossible to put the book down. Obviously, there are no questions asked about how good this book is.
Thank you!
Book Review: My All Time Favourite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an all time favourite with me, It's an amazing book. Most people seem to find Tolkien's narrative too lengthy and boring, but I just loved them. What use is a journey if you can't enjoy the landscape on the way? And what a landscape!!!! This book is just incredible, the plot is good and the characters are truly memorable. I love it.Book Review: Lord of the Rings

What can I say other than it is an awesome book, I could not put it downBook Review: After having reading this book for the 4th time...
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't like Fellowship of the Ring the first time I read it, but plowed on to the end and gave up on the other two "books" (it's really just one long book). I think I now know why. I had just read and loved The Hobbit, and was expecting another book along the same lines. In short, I feel that LOTR is about the world first, characters second, and plot last. This took me some getting used to, and I could not grasp everything the first time through.
It's pure fantasy in the sense of looking around at all the wonder. (often times of things that are not magic eg, trees and grass and hills in the shire.) Indeed, the later books focuses on humans. (In the recent movies they injected Elves in places where there were none before in the story, I expect to increase general interest in the atmosphere)
The result is that I did not enjoy LOTR until I took a very leisurely attitude towards it, rather than an adventurous one, notwithstanding that there are adventurous moments. Every time I read it I find some facet of the world that I did not notice before, or that I forgot. That is now when I most enjoy the book. For others to enjoy this book I think you must enjoy the moment, and not be in a hurry for the plot to advance.
