Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Author: J. R. R. Tolkein
Rating: I did not like it...
Recommendation: No one
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is the first book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
A young Hobbit embarks on a journey to see the delivery of the one ring to rule them all to Mordor, where he hopes to destroy it.
Accompanied by three bumbling companions, Frodo Baggins encounters elves, dwarves, and humans.
It contains a LOT of songs, some taking up multiple pages. This makes it very boring at times, as the songs are irrelevent to the story line.
It also has lots of old, proper words, which means it can be a slow and discouraging read, as well as boring.
Lord of the Rings also expresses arcane philosophies, and there are next to no female characters and the ones who are there are helpless maidens.
Overall, it makes for a long, boring read, far surpassed by other more modern novels.
