This is the second book in the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings". It tells the epic story of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring and involves Gandalf the Wizard, Merry, Pippin and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf and Strider.Customer reviews:  Great art?, 2010-07-30
I have read some of the other reviews here and I'm surprised how much people's reactions are spread across the board. But I suppose that is what truly great art does -- hits people in different places and gets them talking. In my opinion, I agree that at some points the story did seem to drag a little, but the adventure more than makes up for it. For me, the first half of the book was not all that interesting, being mostly battle -- however, there were some significant plot twists (such as the return of Gandalf and Pippin looking in the stone) and new characters (such as Treebeard and the ents) that made it worth reading. (For what it's worth, I absolutely LOVED the ents!!) The second half of the book is what really held my interest, being the journey of Frodo and Sam led by Gollum through the mountains. The dialogue between Smeagol and his alter-ego Gollum is most fascinating, and the character development (especially of Sam) is profound. The characters really grow and change throughout their journey, but at the core is their extremely strong friendship.
Gotta love these Charnwood books!, 2010-05-18
I'm on the plus side of 50 and I'm finding it more difficult to see the small print in some books. These Charnwood series of books are just what the doctor ordered for me and those like me.
I recommend this series to everyone that would like to continue reading after they "can't see" any longer,(j/k). Customers who bought this item also bought:
