The Lord of the Rings

Book Review

By: James Prater

The book that I read was the Lord of the Rings made by J.R.R Tolken and in my opinion it was a very good book. This book is about a Hobbit named Frodo Bagins and he has a job to do in the book and it is to destroy the evil ring that was handed to Frodo from a wizard named Gandalf. While he is on this adventure he meets up with other fellows named Gimly he is a dwarfe, Legales and he is a elf and a human named Arogon and he is a King. He also travels with his Hobbit friends and most of the time in the book it is talking about how Frodo and Sam Frodos friend are trying to get to the Volcano were the ring was made. That is the only place it can be destroyed because the ring is indestructible. While Frodo is trying to get to the Valcano ther are these Riders named Black Riders and they want the ring so they try to kill Frodo and anyone who stands in there way of the ring.

The thing I liked the most about this book was the end when Gandalf was fighting a creature named Balrog and Balrog is this huge demon like creature that has a whip. And when they were Fighting Gandalf Yells out “You shall not pass” and smashes his staff on the ground which lead to the ground breaking. Balrog fell in and when he was falling he used his whip and wrapped it around Gandalfs leg and brought him down with him. Now everyone thinks Gandalf is dead and they are very sad about this.
I recommend this book to people who like books that take place a long time ago and who ever likes medieval stuff like swords and bows and creatures like Orcs and Balrog. The age should be 13 and above because there are some parts that are gross and not appropriate for children. I rate this book a 4/4 stars because I liked the book a lot and can't wait to read the next books. You should read this book because its a very awesome book and if you like these kinds of books then you will love this one. And if you like fiction books then you should like this because it has a lot of Fantasy parts like Orcs and wizards and Hobbits.
