Lord of the RingsLord of the Rings is the greatest book I ever read. It takes Frodo and his furry-footed hobbit friends on a great adventure. They meet mighty heroes such as Gandalf, the powerful wizard, and Aragorn, the mysterious ranger. But, they also meet horrible orcs, and fearsome monsters. Frodo has to destroy the one ring before Sauron the Dark Lord gets it.J.R.R Tolkien's message is even the smallest person can make a difference. Take away one character, the good side looses. It's a great action packed mysterious book. I loved never knowing what would happen. I highly recommend Lord of the Rings.

I bought this book new from Barnes and Noble a few days ago (over-priced). Upon opening the shrink-wrap I discovered several flaws with the quality of the book.1. The back-top corner was bent in, leaving a tear in the leatherette covering.2. SEVERAL pages were bent in at the corners (and since the paper is so thin, it stays bent)3. Two pages had large creases in them, running through the text.4. A few pages were uneven, cut too short.5. The cover looks nice, but feels cheap.Other than that, it's still wonderful Tolkien, but I don't recommend this edition.

THIS IS THE BEST STORY EVER TOLD. no one in the future will ever be able to top a classic like this.never.Tolkien is the MASTER of all fantasy,and something a little more.he introduced fantasy A LOT better. it was because of his vivid, fantastic imagination that we even have all these other stories about fantasy. as far as im concerned,his book,The Lord Of The Rings,is the gateway to all the other great fantasy books.this is the one ORIGINAL fantasy.so,I encourage ALL of you to read this classic before it gets drowned in time.read it while you can.TOLKIEN IS FOREVER KING......NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

This is the best fantasy book I have ever read. The Lord of the Rings contains everything a good fantasy book should contain, and then some more. It's undoubtedly worth reading !

The book is beautiful! (50th Anniversary Edition).First off the cover is marvelous, it feels soft to the touch and feels like it is covered with leather/sued. The pages feel like you are touching silk. The pictures and map are fun to look at.The shipping was alright, the box was beaten and bruised. (You can't blame amazon and the book was fine)It is a very nice book and it includes Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King. It also includes a map, appendices, introduction, 50th anniversary special writing, and some lore. I have not read through this book yet (this one that I have just ordered).Once again Beautiful Book. You won't regret buying it.

Can't believe it has taken me so many years to finally read this trilogy. Having all three books in one volume is a tremendous boon.
