Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Mairi

Frodo has been taken by Orcs, Pippin is riding for Gondor with Gandalf, Merry is with the King of Rohan, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli have set off for the paths of the dead. The Shadow is approaching Minas Tirith.

Do to the fact that, in a truly groundbreaking event, a decent movie has been made out of this book, a lot of people read the Fellowship of the Ring or The Two Towers and never make it this far. But, good as the movie is, the book is still better, and, no matter how slowly you read, you really should read it at one point.

I would personally suggest you read the appendix as well.
