Bombadil is the most notorious remainder of the fantastical roots of Tolkien's story which he painstakingly removed in editing in favor of Catholic symbology. The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them. Tolkien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples.

By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. The Two Towers was definitely my favourite in the series, it was the most exciting one and also allowed for much needed get-to-know-the-characters-time. It offers readers a new opportunity to discover Tolkien’s remarkable world of Middle-earth and to follow the complete story of Bilbo Baggins and the Hobbits’ part in the epic quest for the Ring – beginning with Bilbo’s fateful visit from Gandalf and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom. The writing style was magnificent, but the story-telling so lengthy at times I didn't know where to put my brainpower.And of course Aragorn's there, right on the front cover, because we KNOW how much MR TOLKIEN LUUURVES him some Aragorn! Housed in a matching custom-built slipcase decorated with stunning wraparound artwork, it also features two full-colour removable posters that are unique to this edition.

I love the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies, though even I think it was a stretch making three of them out of one little book.

Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth into an exquisitely bound luxury slipcase edition, The Fall of Númenor is an immersive dive into the boundless imagination of one of fantasy fiction's pioneering spirits.Frodo Baggins, the unlikely hero burdened with the Ring’s weight, demonstrated the strength of will and resilience necessary to resist the temptation of its power. Given that Tolkien did not just invent a world, new creatures and weapons, but invented an actual freaking language, he gets 5 stars from me (I'm sure he was anxiously awaiting my approval). After serving in the First World War, he became best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, selling 150 million copies in more than 40 languages worldwide. Yet despite internal conflicts, there is something respectable in what he achieved, and no fantasy author has yet been capable of comprehending what Tolkien was trying to do and innovating upon it.

I was in the second half of The Two Towers when I found out there were going to be movies about the series.In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. I got this bookset for christmas ( I have yet to read them but I already know they are amazing ) andd its just so pretty and will look beautiful on my shelf.

These authors are mostly trying to fix a Tolkien they don't understand, trying to make him easy to swallow.The struggles and hardships are of such importance and value to both the reader and the characters by the end of the journey, Tolkien has spoken volumes about friendship, love, bravery, honour, loyalty, deceit. Part of the Battle of Pelennor Fields sequence is described in song by an opera-style vocalist rather than acted, which may distance some listeners from the action.
