The Fellowship Of The Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, 1)

I really love this book and it is one of the best fantasy novels in print. There are some sad parts and also a sense of urgency among the characters in fighting the evil that threatens their world. It is an amazing story and absorbing beginning to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

In "The Fellowship of the Ring," Tolkien masterfully constructs a world of staggering depth and complexity. The narrative, steeped in rich lore and history, unfolds with a meticulousness that echoes the grandeur of legendary epics. Characters, each uniquely etched, embark on a quest that is as perilous as it is poignant, revealing the multifaceted nature of courage and friendship. The prose, a harmonious blend of eloquence and clarity, invites the reader to traverse Middle-earth, a realm where myth and reality coalesce. This seminal work in fantasy literature not only sets the benchmark for the genre but also stands as a timeless testament to the power of storytelling. As the inaugural volume of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, it promises a journey replete with awe and wonder, an adventure that continues to enrapture its audience. Tolkien masterly weaves in Christian themes, particularly in the portrayal of sacrifice, redemption, and the struggle between good and evil. Gandalf's perspective on Gollum is particularly poignant, embodying the Christian ethos of pity and forgiveness. He expresses a deep sense of compassion for Gollum, recognizing the tragic nature of his corruption by the Ring. This moment serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for redemption in even the most fallen characters. It's a profound lesson in empathy and understanding, emphasizing the importance of mercy over judgment. Gandalf's approach towards Gollum reflects a deep-seated Christian value, underscoring the potential for grace and forgiveness in a world marred by sin and darkness.

Tolkien delivered ànother wonderfully descriptive ànd detailed adventure that was hard to put down! I loved it! 😍 J.R.R. Tolkien was highly intelligent!

Every time I read it, I am even more in love. An excellent book. For first time readers, it’s a bit slow to start. Don’t give up before they reach the Prancing Pony. Stick with the journey to the end- it’s well worth it.

It looks very good from the outside, exactly like the picture but the inside is a bit cheap looking. Pages are too white and rigid.

This already well-known book seems like a textbook of a lore. The worlds, the rules, the cultures envisioned and threaded into a tapestry of stories are to be savored and studied over a long period of time.One thing in particular that I appreciated quite a lot was the songs. If you take the time to actually read the rhythmic songs, you’ll soon find a voice with which to read them as if someone was reading out loud in your head.Its dense text may be hard upon a few readers, and indeed its target audience seems geared towards those in the age of twenties to thirties - and even beyond.I appreciated reading this first book of three, and look forward to read the rest.

First read The King trilogy at around 14 years old . Now nearly 72 , it all came back to me . The four hobbits , Aragorn . Baromir ,Legolas ,Gimli and of course Gandolf . All my friends . My favorite characters still is Treebeard and the Ents . If you haven't read it yet I envy you .

The Lord of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is sometimes referred to as a trilogy. By Tolkien's standards this isn't accurate, as that position discounts The Hobbit (There and Back again.)The Hobbit for short is the Prequel telling Bilbo's adventures with the ring. The Fellowship of The Ring starts with Bilbo at an advanced age for a Hobbit preparing to leave. Thus putting his nephew Frodo in charge of everything. Sometime advances and we are taken on Frodo's Journey with the time.Most notably important to this book since the movie with Liv Tyler in it. Is the Last chapter The Flight of The Ford as this is how Tolkien meant Frodo to escape the Black Riders. It is very different from Peter Jackson's script.I have been reading these stories through on my own once a year since the age of 10. Before that I would buddy read with my grandmother and her mother. For me they never get old or boring. Gandalf and Strider have always been my favorite characters. Although as I grew up I began to appreciate the importance of the other characters.Along with this quote "All gold does not glitter. All who wander are not lost."* Small note about reading on Kindle: My review prompt popped up between Book one and two , leading me to believe Amazon wished each part of The Fellowship of Ring done separately as a a review and so that is how I sent in this review too early I later learned. After I read about the formation of Company. I knew the book personally to know the whole book didn't end at the Ford that's about 50%. This however , could confuse a first time reader when they see Book 2 and think its time for The 2 towers. No no there over 200 + pages of this book which I won't give anything away I would rate this book above 5 star's if I could. However after this confusion with the review prompt. I would have to say since I have a choice between my physical hard bound copy and the Kindle version. I prefer my physical book for this and the fact the covers of my kindle books changed to artwork I don't care for at all. For the price I paid . I don't like this at all. If the cover art is going to change I think kindle books should either been done differently or you should be able to choose a cover you like. The artwork didn't change until after I started reading it. Never experienced this before in over 10 years of reading kindle books. Seems very odd to this reader.

Amazing! It's like being a member of the fellowship, walking and living the same aventures! Reading It is very worthwile!
