The Lord of the Rings

" Frodo Baggins has to distroy the One Ring, which, if
returned to its owner, has the power to distroy all of
Middle Earth. The ring has the power to turn its
wearer invisible, but the power is corrupting and will
distroy Frodo if he continues to use it. "

"This is a very long, complex saga about a fantasy
world and a ring that can rule over all others and the
world. This is not your typical fantasy story and is
not really written for children, this book goes beyond
the usual fantasy storyline, it has some depth,
emotional issues, relationship issues, self-sacrifice
and courage. This book follows the journey of the One
Ring from the Shire to the Cracks of Doom in Mordor,
where the ring may only be destroyed. Along the way we
meet lots of different characters, monsters, battles
and a good song or poem. A must read for fantasy
lovers. "

Gamgee; Elf: Legolas; Dwarf: Gimli; Humans: Aragorn,
Borimir; Wizard: Gandalf the Grey/ White) tho destroy
the One Ring in Mt. Doom. At the river Anduin, the
Fellowship breaks up, and Frodo and Sam alone are left
to destroy the One Ring."

"Seldom has anyone created a myth of the power, the
originality, the depth, and the range of the
Middlearth saga. Its originality lies in its details,
its plot, and its characters. Its grandeur derives
from the seamless weave of its whole. The consistency
of the created world, in which every part, small and
large, dovetails and blends is unparalleled in modern
fiction. The fact that it is clearly a timeless
masterpiece made it a classic from day one. Perhaps if
the input of the Inklings (C.S. Lewis, Charles
Williams, et al) had not been available, it would have
not been such a great work. Or perhaps, as Lewis said,
it would have been better - its only fault is that it
is too short."
Michael JR Jose, Resident J.R.R. Tolkien Scholar

"Undoubtedly the finest fantasy story ever written,
Tolkien has almost single-handedly inspired an entire
genre and a series of games, comic books, movies and
cartoons. This classic has it all: magic; evil
warlord; elves, dwarves and orcs; the quest; raging
battles; the unlikely hero. It is quite simply
the "best" of its kind."
Kelly Whiting, Resident J.R.R. Tolkien Scholar

"Frodo Baggins inherits the One Ring, which contains
the majority of the power of Sauron, Lord of Evil in
Middle-Earth. Frodo and his companions must sneak and
fight their way to Mount Doom, the volcano in which
the Ring was forged, in order to destroy it and
Sauron. Meanwhile, Sauron launches an attack on the
united forces of the West, including Men, Elves and
Dwarves."
