The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

5.0

What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said?? The adventure, the friendship, the world, the characters!! I loved this story! As a long time fan of The Lord of the Rings films, I was so anxious to finally read the book series, and I was not surprised that it did nor disappointment. JRR Tolkien weaves together such a beautiful story with an equally beautiful world. He is truly a wonderful story teller and I found that many parts of the book were relatable, even though it takes place in a fantastical world. My FAVORITE part of this book was the friendship and community between the members of the fellowship. Frodo and Sam's friendship had me tearing up at multiple parts! I admired the dedication of the members of the fellowship to carry out their task and support Frodo to the end. And not to mention the wonderful side characters who help the company along the way!! Such a wonderful example of how community and people can help and encourage one another even in dark times. So happy I finally finished this first installment. Okay, I am done gushing now! Please read if you have not already!!
