"What can I say - one of my favourites of all time. An allegory of WWII with the nasty nazi's as Mordor and rural England as the innocent yet noble rural Englanders (pre-industrial) as the Hobbits. To design whole languages, interlocking stories and cultures. What an achievement.... " — Cindy (5 out of 5 stars)

" Excellent fantasy series. Esoteric language, but if you're determined it's an amazing series. "
" I've read this at least 3 times now. Brilliant work by Tolkien. "
" It's a good Book, a great story and I can really tell that he wrote it as he told his children the story of Frodo and the fellow-ship :D "
" Why hadn't I read this series earlier in my life? "
" I am not usually a huge fan of fantasy novels, but I had to make an exception for Tolkien. "
" no review will ever do Tolkiens books justice, simply read them and let yourself go. "
" This wasn't exactly the edition that I have, but I'm assuming that the reading is all the same. This is the 2nd time I read the book & found new things each time. Now I want to rewatch the movie! Wonderful story. "
" Changed my life. If every book I read could bring perspective like The Lord of the Rings, I`d be a smart smart lad. "
" Read this twice and will probably do it again. Just a classic read. "
" Didn't like the book, so much so that I never finished it. Didn't like the movies either... "
" This one got me through High School without going insane, and I have re-read it probably 7 times including to my kids. "
" cool...lot of fantasy that u'd never dream or imaging before..will happy if those fantasy just happened in this world "
" This has become the foundation of modern fantasy text. Very good read. "
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and other tales of Middle-earth, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but even as he studied these classics he was creating a set of his own. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
