Book Description:
The first volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure The Lord of the Rings
"Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron." -- C. S. Lewis
"Exciting . . . Tolkien's invention is unflagging." -- W. H. Auden
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

Rebekkah L. (I own three copies of this book - way more than I need, but I just couldn't help myself! Anyone that was a true fan of the movie trilogy (or before that - a true geek) will love these books. I had never heard of them until I saw the movie, and then I had to have all three plus the Hobbit. I have to say that the Hobbit is by far the most fun to read, but a true word-lover will enjoy all of Tolkien's work. My advice: Try it out! If you just can't get through it then put it back on PBS, but you'll never know until you try!
Much more to the book than what is in the film! I loved its riches!

An excellent book. It was difficult the first time I tried to read it, but after going back and reading the Hobbit everything made more sense.
