The Lord of the Rings

[The-happy-reader-7]

I adore this series in its entirety. Although it was rather slow throughout the series, Tolkien's gift for story telling certainly gripped me as I saw all the scenes unfolding, and dare i say, much better than the movies. I know a lot of people loved the movies more, however, the world building is unique in every possible way and i was fully able to appreciate this via reading. His descriptive, beautiful language is an art form meant to be admired. Furthermore, i was thrilled to learn of parts of the series which were not included in the movies. It felt like discovering a treasure! The inherent nature of the series speaks of war between good and evil, and overcoming the odds despite unfavourable circumstances. These books also allowed for more time to bond with the characters and learn more about them. I felt very attached to the fellowship. I am certainly a fan of Tolkien and will recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy, magic, action and a good laugh.

The books were awesome, the movies were okay and my favorite character was Aragon.
