The Lord of the Rings is one of the best series I have ever read. I'm surprised I hadn't read it earlier, it's kind of like a new Harry Potter for me. It is very detailed, and on the very first page I was caught into the book. I had first watched the movies, then went onto the books so I could understand a bit. I'm very impressed by how the author wrote this book! I never thought that it would be this good.

Oversized illustrated hardback edition of the first part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, fully reset and featuring full-page watercolour paintings by award-winning artist, Alan Lee. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power -- the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring -- the ring that rules them all -- which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. 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. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

I read the Hobbit and now I'm reading this. It's really good so far!
Shortly after getting through the Hobbit movies and book, I moved on to Lord of the–movies then books. The first in a series of three, Fellowship of the Ring tops off its predecessor, The Hobbit. All Middle Earth is in dire danger when Sauron returns, searching desperately for the One Ring–the shiny trinket which Bilbo now has. But Bilbo seeks to move on and leave the Shire, so it is passed on to his adopted cousin, Frodo. Frodo soon finds himself hunted mercilessly by Ringwraiths, orcs, and Gollum, and struggles with the growing temptation to slip the ring on. I loved The Fellowship of the Ring because the descriptions popped with life and Middle Earth felt all the more alive than the Hobbit. Although the plot drags in some places, it is well-worth the read.
The Lord of the Rings is virtually the most advanced and complex high-fantasy story; It is incredible and absolutely magnificent. If you manage to go past the series's 1000-ish pages, then you'll be rewarded with one of the best-made stories. If you've got the guts and the time, then read it.
I read this after the reading the hobbit and I know for sure it can not compareable at all. i read them both when I was nine in fourth grade and it was very understandable but I don't recemend it because to me I think it was avery dry and slow. Also I don't really like the main character Frodo Baggins.
I still think it is a good idea of a bunch of rings and and all of thoses species and thing like that. I beileve this book has been studied many times in religious classes in high schools or colleges. They compare this books characters to certain religions.
I love this book. It's an amazing Series and I reccomend it to anyone whose looking for a challenge.
The Fellowship of the Ring is the sequel to the Hobbit, but is technically the first book in the three-book series, the Lord of the Rings. This story takes place in Middle- Earth, a unique fantasy land that is filled with magical creatures. There's a lot of background information, but at present, a hobbit named Frodo is given an ancient ring, forged by evil, which he must destroy in a far-off land. He is accompanied by a Fellowship (group). And so begins a magical story brimming to the top with adventure, excitement, and danger! This book is great, except it's pretty hard to understand and uses large vocabulary (even I was confused at some parts!). But don't let that stop you from reading it! This is one of the great classics that is not-so-classical, which I believe everyone should read at some point. If you like fantasy and action, this is a must- read!
This book is awesome. I'd read it when I'm about 13 if I were you because It can get confusing like the politics.
nice addition to the hobbit. although parts lost my attention still a cool story.
