Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Marietta

The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of the famous J. R. R. Tolkein's trilogy The Lord of the Rings, which the superb writing skills of the author make a delight to read.


The story takes place in the Middle-earth. It's about a young hobbit named Frodo who has inherited a mysterious golden ring. Forces of evil, led by Sauron, the dark Lord of Mordor, are searching for The Ring, because whoever owns it will have the power to rule the world. So, Frodo has to deliver The Ring to the Mount Doom, the only place where it could be destroyed. Filled with amazing creatures, such as orcs, dwarves and walking trees, the book leaves a long-lasting impression on the reader.


I like The Fellowship of the Ring because it's really breath-taking. I think J. R. R. Tolkein is extremely successful in creating the different characters in the book, showing both their individuality and the way they join together to overcome the numerous obstacles and challenges in the name of their important task.


The Fellowship of the Ring is rich and detailed in plot. Fast moving, gloomy or immensely amusing at times, it has something for everyone. Tolkein skillfully introduces magnificent descriptions of nature and the book is abundant with many interesting dialogues, which all readers would enjoy.


The Fellowship of the Ring is a universal story of hope, courage, love, of good triumphing over evil and the cost of such victory - a book which is worth reading!
