The Fellowship of the Ring

Imagine all the pressure of your country in your hands. This happened to Frodo in the book The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a fantasy book and it's the beginning of the series of "The Lord of the Rings" The book's main character is called Frodo Baggins, and his problem is that his cousin Bilbo disappeared from his party and left him with the responsibility of destroying the ring at Mt. Doom. He also has to face several challenges before he reaches the Anduin River, which leads to Mt. Doom Frodo is friends of most of the hobbits that live at Hobbiton, except for his cousins, the Sackville-Baggins
I read the book very carefully, considering that it had a very high level and it was long. I sometimes stopped in parts I didn't understand, but afterwards, I moved on. I got to a point where I couldn't keep myself in the chair of the excitement and I started to jump while reading. In the prologue, I got to the point where my head almost drooped after reading the first page because it was so boring, but that's only on the prologue. I reconsidered abandoning the book three times, but my "book mates" told me not to. Something interesting about this book is that from the most interesting parts to the most boring parts, and that makes me sort of upset. This book is similar to "The Chronicles of Prydain" by Lloyd Alexander because there are different races besides humans, like dwarves, elves, and wizards. I think that the book is very colorful because its magical writing can cheer you up, just like colors do. Also because its enriched with the good use of vocabulary.
I would recommend this book to male teenagers and adults because it doesn't talk about things that girls regularly do or enjoy, like fighting, for example. This book is very similar to the chronicles of Prydain which has the same type of characters. Even though this book is challenging, you have to give it a chance and don't give up on it.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

McCord of Asuncion, Paraguay says:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has you predicting from the start. By the title,you're probably asking yourself "Why is a ring so important?"
J.R.R. Tolkien was a British man that wrote this series book. He also wrote The Hobbit and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. It is a book mostly for adults, but a bright sixth grader can read it. Do not be surprised if you do not like the beginning. The beginning is slow, but the story gets better as it goes along.
This book is the first book of a series of three. This book is adventure genre that takes place in middle earth. They tell of a very powerful ring forged by a dark lord. This ring is full of evil and very tempting. Anyone who puts the ring on turns invisible.
A group of people set out to destroy this ring of evil. Some of these people were the elf, Legolas, the royal humans Boromir and Aragorn son of Arathorn, and the dwarf, Gimli. They encounter merciless orcs and fearsome ringwraiths on their journey. Can they go to Mount Doom and destroy the ring of evil without being killed? Find out.
I did not really care for this book. Sometimes it was so boring I had to force myself to keep reading. I think that this man does not know how to make an exciting book. Some parts did not make sense also. To me, he seems to describe things too much. He also goes on and on and on. I found the movie to be a lot more interesting, exciting and make more sense. My teacher says that J.K. Rowling used The Lord of the Rings series to write the Harry Potter series which can be seen, but J.K. Rowling is a better and more talented writer in my opinion.

The Fellowship of the ring

Imagine a ring that its only purpose is to create evil, is passed on to you, its heir. In The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien a malicious ring is passed on to a young hobbit. The hobbit though is doomed to take the ring and destroy it at on of the darkest corners of the earth. However, black riders that work for Sauron (the creator of the ring who rules them all) want the master ring and want to kill him. the nine black riders,(sent by sauron) are owners of the nine other rings which are specially made for them.

I think this is not a boring book but a different book that is just a different way of writing. I think it is very cult. I also think it is obviously very fictional and it is a book that is also very adventurous and mysterious. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read a classic and cultural book. I warn though, that when reading, the person needs to have patience if they think "Book 1" is too boring to read. I you are a person that likes only the books like the Da Vinci Code which is a thriller you wont like it that much. However, someone that likes Science Fiction will like it, since it is a very mysterious book that has from evil rings, to adventurous hobbits.

Though most of the book is pretty boring it does include mystery especially after the council of Elrond, when the fellowship sees the glowing eyes appearing and disappearing into the darkness of their journey.
