The Lord of the Rings, Volume 1: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

of JRR Tolkien

In the green meadows of the Shire, the Hobbits, and semi-humans lived in peace ...
until the fateful day when one of them during his travels, came into possession of the One Ring with immense powers. To recover, Sauron, the dark lord, will unleash all the forces of evil ... Frodo, the Ring-bearer, Gandalf, the magician, and their intrepid companions will they manage to remove the threat to Middle-earth?

How about this book ... This book that so many people fear, the book that so many people dropped out because they have not moved beyond the first pages or because "There are too many descriptions" ... Yet this book is a masterpiece, like all of Tolkien books I've read so far. And I can not find it particularly difficult to read. Certainly there are long descriptions, but Again, they serve to describe the universe of Middle-earth and trying to make us think and try to make us understand the universe he has created.
I do not know how to talk about history without spoilers. It is not necessary to have read The Hobbit before reading the Lord of the Rings, but still preferable, since there is reference a few times.
The story takes its time to implement, it does not go at full speed, there is relatively little action. But it is for the good reason that we follow the pattern of the Company of the Ring, the pace especially Hobbits, which obviously can not walk as fast as a man. Tolkien tells us in detail the journey of the Company, there is very little ellipses of time. It follows almost minute by minute what happens to the hero.
Sure, it's been a fairly slow pace, punctuated with many descriptions, but you never get bored, there are no descriptions to the description, text to text to increase the volume of the book. Everything is useful, is interesting.
For example, the heroes meet someone who sings, well we Tolkien transcribed the lyrics of the song. It is sung in Elvish, well the lyrics are in Elvish. So it can be disturbing, and some unnecessary but I think by this method, Tolkien tries to immerse ourselves completely into what people see, feel and live characters. And for my part, it works really well, I suffered with them, I was scared with them, I was tired with them. I was with them somehow.
In summary this is really still a marvel of Fantasy Tolkien signed, and I really recommend to all lovers of this kind of attempt to experience the Lord of the Rings. And even if they can / want to replace it throughout the universe created by Tolkien. As with Common Reading
