Summary
For over fifty years， J。R。R。 Tolkien’s peerless fantasy has accumulated worldwide acclaim as the greatest adventure tale ever written。 No other writer has created a world as distinct as Middle-earth， complete with its own geography， history， languages， and legends。 And no one has created characters as endearing as Tolkien’s large-hearted， hairy-footed hobbits。 Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings continues to seize the imaginations of readers of all ages， and this new three-volume paperback edition is designed to appeal to the youngest of them。

Just as Rocky shows you don't need to follow conventional movie structure to be a classic， Tolkien's seminal and unusually paced fantasy trilogy continues to hold up over time。 Just as Rocky shows you don't need to follow conventional movie structure to be a classic， Tolkien's seminal and unusually paced fantasy trilogy continues to hold up over time。 。。。more

It's hard to give a review as this is such a culturally loaded book and I confess it's very hard to get the films out of your mind。 Trying my best to take it on its own merits， I found it all very confusing。 I got the basic plot of course but many times I was lost when he described the history of Middle earth， the legends， the old kings， the different lands， the past battles。 I found this hard to follow。 Even more so the very long and detailed descriptions of the geography and landscapes as the It's hard to give a review as this is such a culturally loaded book and I confess it's very hard to get the films out of your mind。 Trying my best to take it on its own merits， I found it all very confusing。 I got the basic plot of course but many times I was lost when he described the history of Middle earth， the legends， the old kings， the different lands， the past battles。 I found this hard to follow。 Even more so the very long and detailed descriptions of the geography and landscapes as the hobbits went on their adventures。 I found this especially exhausting and confusing as I read it on a Kindle so missed being able to refer to the maps。 But even so， and I love descriptive passages that evoke a place or era， the endless stuff about rivers and mountains and lakes and hills and valleys and streams and roads and mountain passes and lands to east and west and north and south just did my head in ！ I'm sorry if that is sacrilege but it was too much。 I feel he needed a good editor but being a learned professor no one dared suggest it ！ However I was still moved at times and despite the length and mind boggling number of characters and bewildering amount of history I did enjoy ， but I had to keep putting it down。 And I couldn't stand all the poems/songs， which I started skipping ！ I know I'm a heathen ！ 。。。more

This tale is timeless and unmatched。 While it is a must read for anyone seeking fantasy， adventure and escapism， the heart of this story is in the struggle and triumph of ordinary people faced with impossible circumstances。 Tolkien masterfully draws upon the horrors of his past and inexorable genius to create something relatable in a fantastical world。 Between rich and descriptive settings， deep and diverse characters， as well as ancient and textual ruins， it is difficult not to be drawn in to t This tale is timeless and unmatched。 While it is a must read for anyone seeking fantasy， adventure and escapism， the heart of this story is in the struggle and triumph of ordinary people faced with impossible circumstances。 Tolkien masterfully draws upon the horrors of his past and inexorable genius to create something relatable in a fantastical world。 Between rich and descriptive settings， deep and diverse characters， as well as ancient and textual ruins， it is difficult not to be drawn in to this incredible story。 Read it once or one hundred times and still walk away with a new perspective。 。。。more

Най-накрая приключих с тази велика Мъка на мъките。 Това нещо няма изчитане。 Искам да кажа， че по никакъв начин не омаловажавам труда на Толкин да създаде целия този свят с цялата му история， народи， войни， езици。。。 Това не е книга， това е едно друго измерение。Но！ Такава скука не съм изживявала никога， честно。 Като си помисля， че си казвах това за "Щиглецът"， "Отнесени от вихъра" и "Z-та световна война"。。。 Ми те направо са си били интересни пред това。 Не знам колко хиляди пъти заспах。 Просто не е Най-накрая приключих с тази велика Мъка на мъките。 Това нещо няма изчитане。 Искам да кажа， че по никакъв начин не омаловажавам труда на Толкин да създаде целия този свят с цялата му история， народи， войни， езици。。。 Това не е книга， това е едно друго измерение。Но！ Такава скука не съм изживявала никога， честно。 Като си помисля， че си казвах това за "Щиглецът"， "Отнесени от вихъра" и "Z-та световна война"。。。 Ми те направо са си били интересни пред това。 Не знам колко хиляди пъти заспах。 Просто не е моята книга。 В никакъв случай не отричам， че е шедьовър。 Шедьовър， ама не моят。 Отказвам се тотално от този жанр。 Роулинг ме подведе， нея я харесвам от тук до безкрая。 Ама другите й съ-жанр-овци не мога да ги понасям。 Не е за мен и това е。 Нарочно няма да поставя оценка， защото на първо място 80% от текста не го разбрах въобще и на второ място не мисля， че е уместно， тъй като не ми допада жанра， нито пък стила на автора и това ужаааааааааасно разтеглено и детайлно писане。 Честно， пиша си 6 за търпение。 Не знам как успях да изчета всичко。 Е， в приложенията вече на някои места давах по диагонал， че ми писна。 。。。more

One of the finest stories ever told。 Tolkien had a brilliant mind。 I read this as a young man before I really knew or understood the Great War。 Now that I've spent many years as a history student， I've reread the Trilogy and it's so easy to see the influences therein。 Tolkien's mastery of linguistics and his ability to weave a tale is second to none。 This is a series I will read over and over again for many years to come。 One of the finest stories ever told。 Tolkien had a brilliant mind。 I read this as a young man before I really knew or understood the Great War。 Now that I've spent many years as a history student， I've reread the Trilogy and it's so easy to see the influences therein。 Tolkien's mastery of linguistics and his ability to weave a tale is second to none。 This is a series I will read over and over again for many years to come。 。。。more

La capătul celui de-al Treilea Ev， rolul jucat de hobbiţi în marile evenimente care au dus la includerea Comitatului în Regatul Reunit a trezit în rândurile lor un interes mult mai mare pentru propria lor istorie; şi multe dintre poveştile lor， până în acel moment orale în cea mai mare parte， au fost adunate şi puse pe hârtie。 Familiile mai mari erau de asemenea preocupate de evenimentele din întregul Regat şi mulţi dintre membrii lor i-au studiat vechile istorii şi legende。 Către sfârşitul prim La capătul celui de-al Treilea Ev， rolul jucat de hobbiţi în marile evenimente care au dus la includerea Comitatului în Regatul Reunit a trezit în rândurile lor un interes mult mai mare pentru propria lor istorie; şi multe dintre poveştile lor， până în acel moment orale în cea mai mare parte， au fost adunate şi puse pe hârtie。 Familiile mai mari erau de asemenea preocupate de evenimentele din întregul Regat şi mulţi dintre membrii lor i-au studiat vechile istorii şi legende。 Către sfârşitul primului secol al celui de-al Patrulea Ev se puteau deja găsi în Comitat mai multe biblioteci care cuprindeau nenumărate cărţi şi documente istorice。Probabil că cele mai mari dintre aceste colecţii se aflau în conacurile Sub Turnuri， Marile Tuneluri şi Coniac。 Relatarea despre sfârşitul celui de-al Treilea Ev este luată în principal din Cartea Roşie a Hotarului de la Soare-Apune。 Această sursă extrem de importantă pentru istoria Războiului Inelului a fost numită aşa pentru că multă vreme a fost păstrata în conacul Sub Turnuri， sălaşul Copiilor Bălai， Străjuitorii Hotarului de la Soare-Apune。 La originile sale， a fost jurnalul intim al lui Bilbo， pe care l-a luat cu sine în Vâlceaua Despicată。 Frodo l-a adus înapoi în Comitat， împreună cu multe pagini răzleţe acoperite de însemnări， iar în anii 1420-1 ai Calendarului din Comitat i-a umplut aproape în întregime paginile cu relatarea sa despre Război。 Dar anexate la acesta şi păstrate laolaltă cu el， probabil în aceeaşi cutie roşie， erau cele trei volume groase， legate în piele roşie， pe care i le-a dăruit Bilbo la despărţire。 。。。more

It took me a month to read this whopper of a book。 But this version is all three books in one。 To get through it quicker， I read the book but also listened to the audio on school runs etc。To be honest， I actually preferred to read the book as I absorbed more of the story。 I enjoyed the first part， The Fellowship of the Rings。 I loved Frodo and learning about the Shire。 Reading the second part， The Two Towers， I found slightly boring， and when listening to the audio I found my mind wondering off。 It took me a month to read this whopper of a book。 But this version is all three books in one。 To get through it quicker， I read the book but also listened to the audio on school runs etc。To be honest， I actually preferred to read the book as I absorbed more of the story。 I enjoyed the first part， The Fellowship of the Rings。 I loved Frodo and learning about the Shire。 Reading the second part， The Two Towers， I found slightly boring， and when listening to the audio I found my mind wondering off。 It picked up after we got back to the hobbits and the last of this part was fab。 The third and final part， The Return of the King， was better then the second， but not so good as the first。Overall an ok read， but did find it a slog and a bit of a chore。 Unpopular opinion but 3 out of 5 stars for me。 。。。more

Is it even necessary to write a review for Lord of the Rings？ Everybody knows how good it is。 It is arguably the most important book in my beloved fantasy genre and for and lot of people it's still their favorite fantasy series。I'm not one of those people， but I could still sign LOTR's praise for hours。 I don't love the way some parts of the series are structured， especially in the Return of the King， I also wouldn't put this series to my TOP 5 and I even probably enjoyed the movies little bit m Is it even necessary to write a review for Lord of the Rings？ Everybody knows how good it is。 It is arguably the most important book in my beloved fantasy genre and for and lot of people it's still their favorite fantasy series。I'm not one of those people， but I could still sign LOTR's praise for hours。 I don't love the way some parts of the series are structured， especially in the Return of the King， I also wouldn't put this series to my TOP 5 and I even probably enjoyed the movies little bit more than the books。 BUT。。。 I think it is a briliant piece of literature and it deserves all the praise it's getting。I love so many things about LOTR。 The lore， Tolkien's poetic writing style， the worldbuilding and so on。 Also， Gollum and Sam are one of the best fantasy characters even。 Period， no one can change my mind about that and I don't think anyone would even want to。 And that's the thing。 I don't think there is anyone who loves fantasy and tries to deny LOTR's legacy and overall greatness。 But I can understand that in these modern times some people might find Tolkien's writing style too archaic。 Or some people might just prefer modern approach to fantasy， like myself。LOTR gets 9/10 from me， but I'll always view it as one of the most imporant pieces of literature。 And Sam's monologue at the end of Two Towers is one of my favorite scenes ever。 。。。more
