"I just finished Book 1 Fellowship of the Ring. I found it is very similar to the movie and the parts they did cut out were interesting to read, but may have been slow going on the big screen. It is nice to know they tried to make it as close as possible to the book." — Lena (4 out of 5 stars)

" Excellent book loved listening to it! "

" The iconic fantasy novel... what can I said that hasn't been said before? Well, just that is not an easy reading and that I read it before seeing the movies. There are many things that I didn't catch until somebody else mentioned them to me. "
" Awesome, if you like trudging through unnecessary, long winded prose. It's like a swamp made of words. Extremely boring, even the action is dulled by a text book like feel. "
" In my top 10 book series! Love it! "
" For those who love fantasy, this is a must read. This is fantasy to another level! "
" If you haven't read this book, don't even try and talk to me. "
" I loved the whole story - beginning to end, and am thinking I'll go back and read it a third time! "
" If you can get past the over use of details (although intricate and necessary in some cases), you'll find the story to be just as compelling and beautiful as the movies. "
" I found the Lord of the Rings and the rest of the "Ring" chronicles much harder to enjoy than the hobbit, although they are all good reads and continue on the original story well. "
" I am so sad that this adventure is over. Such an amazing book. Great ideas and great adventures. Wow. "
" This is the book that defined the modern fantasy genre. READ IT. "
" Favourite book of all time. Hands down. "
" Excellent book by Tolkien! It was my first serious read and i couldn't hold myself to read day and night. Just perfect ! "
" May I just say, I have read 100s of books in my time, best three ever, getting better as they go this is a masterpiece, you don't read it, you don't live, no but seriously, this series is a must read! "
" I'm not usually a fan of Fantasy books but I really liked these books and I am glad I read them before seeing the movies. While the movies are well made in my opinion, the books are even better. "
" A bit long, but a great book "
" You just cant get past this books if you like fantasy. They are the beginning, but after reading a series of newer fantasy books, I might agree that they are a bit outdated. But hey, I still read them again and again! "
" Tolken is just amazing. "

" Took dogged determination to keep reading for the first 40 odd pages. then it got me, and time flew! "
" A bit of a chore but worth it! "
" I can keep reading this year after year and still enjoy it. "
" The books that started it all - wonderful depth and character colour, amazing detail, and a cool look at what makes a hero. "
" a fantastic adventure that you will never forget! "
" You can't really go wrong here. Even if you can't stand to watch the movies anymore, you will love these. "
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.
