The master of all Fantasy books. Tolkien's trilagy keeps you wondering what will happen to the CORE characters in this wonderful set of 3 books. If you have seen the movie, you must read the book and see what you missed! One name come's to mind (TOM B) - read it and find out who may have all the answers, yet in the movies 'HE' was not mentioned.

... it readsssss it....stupid hobitsssssses

The first of the blockbuster fantasy stories, The Lord of the Rings tells the story of little Frodo Baggins.
He is a hobbit(they are little people prone to overeating and smoking their pipe) who inherits The Ring. The ring is a magic ring that gives it's owner invisibility when it is worn but makes your spirit
vulnerable to it's maker; Sauron(the ultimate bad guy looking to take over the world).
The only way to destroy the ring is to chuck it into the fires of Mt. Doom where it was created.
So Frodo with a few companions go on a quest to save the world by destroying the ring. This is the story of how this innocent tries to overcome armies, magicians, all sorts of wierd folk(this "is" a fantasy novel), monsters and such to save his world.
I will say it is an Excellent Read; very entertaining and well written.
I must add if you like this genre you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try either the Assassin Trilogy or the Live Ship Trilogy by Robin Hobb. In my opinion she is as good as it gets.
