Book Review - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

  I finished reading this book yesterday! I have one word to describe it: AMAZING!! It is absolutely brilliant! J.R.R. Tolkien made no mistake when he wrote this book!
   It was full of action and had quite a few battle scenes. So, if you don't like reading about people getting stabbed or violence, then this is definetely not the book for you!
   But, it did hold tales of friendship, loyalty, and courage. For example, Frodo didn't exactly 'want' to take the ring to Mordor, but he knew he had to if Middle Earth was to ever be at peace again. And even though there are hard times in the book when he just felt like giving up, he persevered and went on.
   Sam held true to his promise that he wouldn't ever leave Frodo. He stuck with him through the good times and the bad.
   And Aragorn protected the little Hobbits from evil, when he could.
   There's also the fact that Frodo, Gandalf, Boromir, and all were tempted to take the ring and put it on. It shows that all are tempted in life.
   My favorite characters are:
   Frodo - He tries to be so brave. Who couldn't like him?
   Aragorn - I didn't like Strider at first, but soon came to love his character. He is loyal and true to the Fellowship.
   Merry and Pippin - They are quite a funny duo. Pippin can be so careless at times and isn't to bright. Where as Merry is smarter and has to sort of look out for him.
   Samwise Gamgee - He too, is very loyal. Especially to Frodo. He tries his best to protect him all throughout the book and won't let Frodo go anywhere without him. At the end of the book, when Frodo is leaving, Sam follows him (and risks his life doing so, because he can't swim and nearly drowned) and tells him that he made a promise to Gandalf, never to leave Frodo or let anything happen to him.
   This is one of my favorite books and I can hardly wait to start the Two Towers! I definetely recommend this book!
   Have you read the book? Any thought or comments on it? Tell me in the comments below!

I Had a Great Day!

   I had a great day yesterday. I went to Wal-Mart and found all sorts of Hobbit displays. I just had to take a few pictures ;D

On one shelf, (not this one) they had sold almost every single copy of the Hobbit movie! How cool is that?!

Gandalf and Bilbo:D

I also got a bag of my favorite candy! Starburst Jellybeans, FaveReds bag!

And as you know, I got my books in the mail!

Until next time,

Book Review - The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

*There will be spoilers in this review*

      I just finished the book yesterday and let me say that it is amazing! I don't think there was a single chapter in this book that didn't hold my interest.
   J.R.R. Tolkien wrote it in such a way that makes me feel like I'm on the adventure with Bilbo and the dwarves!
  
   So, first of all: I loved the Blunt the Knives, Crack the Plates song, it was so much fun to read. It has to be one of my absolute favorite scenes from the book!
   My favorite character would have to be Bilbo. He's so kind and funny! And even though he gets annoyed with the dwarves sometimes, he always tries his best to be polite!
  
   One thing that was hard was remembering all of the dwarves' names. There's so many of them. Let me try to name them all. There's Dori, Ori, Nori, Balin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, Bombur, Bofur, Bifur and Thorin. I named 11. Not bad.
   My favorite dwarves would have to be Fili and Kili, although it was so, so sad to find out they died!
   I do wish Thorin hadn't become so selfish over the treasure, for it led Bilbo to give the Elves the Arkenstone and that led to a battle sometime later. That is where Thorin was injured and he later died :*(

   My overall opinion of this book is: INCREDIBLE, the whole way through!
