Book Reviews of The Lord of the Rings. 3 Vol. Set
Book Review: Fantastic-beautiful collectable for everyone's shelf!
Summary: 5 Stars
This edition of Lords of the Rings is by far the most glorious; well bound with propper form breaks
it includes tons of full color illustrations from Alan Lee on glossy stock paper. There is almost at least one
illustration per chapter which represents the theme from each chapter beautifuly. This edition is
for those who love to collect books; a must for every fantasy lover if you have a
few bucks sitting around; I bought it because I wanted to have the book for a long rainy day when curling
up near a fire, and because I thought to the days when I may have a son or daughter and every night
could be reading night from the "big book" If you love Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings, then you
should definitely save a little money to purchase this edition; it will be worth your while!Book Review: Essential for those who have never read it.
Summary: 5 Stars
It was once noted that the world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and those who have not. That is a hard quotation to follow. However, let me at least say that this is the ultimate fantasy novel to which we compare all others. Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry series has been compared to it, which is not surprising when one considers Kay worked for a while on the Tolkien literary estate. The story of Frodo and Sam has entered the cultural mainstream, giving the world one of its first inclusive mythologies. Essential for those who have never read it. And, to those who have, isn't it time you returned to it
