Začátek mi přišel dost náročný, ale naštěstí to rychle přešlo. Nemůžu se zbavit dojmu, že je to takové dětské, takové milé. Ale to rozhodně nevidím jako chybu. Čte se to mile, neznám filmy tak dobře, že bych přesně věděla, co se stane. Ale těším se, že se na ně kouknu, až dočtu.
Svým způsobem mi to připomíná málo dějový a atmosférický biedermeier. I když se tam vlastně stále něco děje.

leer este libro era un objetivo personal. lo leí cuando era muy pequeña y no lo recordaba, en ese entonces no me había gustado nada; así que me propuse darle una segunda oportunidad y menos mal que lo hice.
es increíble realmente. la prosa de tolkien, esa que tanto me había disgustado de chica, me ha enamorado y realmente no se compara con nada. incluso cuando el libro transcurre de manera lenta y pausada, el mundo mágico creado por el autor se puede respirar en cada página y realmente te transporta a esos paisajes y esas brisas que se describen.
estoy feliz de haberlo terminado, y realmente ansiosa por saber que le depara el futuro al joven frodo.

Reading this classic for the first time was an interesting experience. The book was excellent although slow, so much time passes in the book that I was taken aback by the lack of urgency when time is of the essence. Also, there were so many interesting characters, such as Tom Bombadil, that were cut from the film that I enjoyed reading about. My only gripe is with the meticulous descriptions of certain events and locations, it was just a bit excessive. Other than that I truly enjoyed the book, the characters and the vast scenery that I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

can be very slow, lots of world building, was a little confusing at the beginning but I think we got there - obviously incredible high fantasy

I don't know what number reread this is for me, but I have never written a review for it. I have been feeling a little nostalgic lately, and I thought listening to the Andy Serkis narration would be a fun change to consuming this loveable classic. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The Fellowship of the Ring on its own is a powerhouse. It's a classic for a reason. The story is unique, the world is vibrant, and the world building is the benchmark of 10/10 world building. Andy Serkis' narration made a great reading experience even better. He really encapsulates the energy of each character and has clearly recognizable voices for each. I absolutely loved this and can't believe I haven't listened to this sooner. Middle Earth is a world that's close to my heart, and I loved going back for this adventure again.
