Bert Schal reviewed The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, #1)
Extraordinary
5 stars
I first read the Lord of the Rings books in my late teens (a long time ago). I couldn’t remember much, only that I didn‘t like them nearly as much as the films (by Peter Jackson).
I was wrong. They are a masterpiece. Tolkien created something truly unique. The world, the characters, the songs, the lore. The story. It‘s simply amazing to read.
The Fellowship is only a part of something bigger. I‘m looking forward to reading the next books.
