    J K Rowling has nothing on JRR Tolkien. The all time master of imaginative fantasy epics. A true epic that will never be surpassed. The LOTR doesn't stop at three books it began with the Hobbit and continues in The History of Middle Earth. Tolkien's aptitude for pure detail is amazing. To write 15+ ...

    Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien is one of the greatest stories I've ever read. Totally addictive, once you begin reading it you can't put it down until it is finished. It is a very dark book considering some people believe it is meant for children. I personally don't believe that for one minute. Th ...

    I made three attempts at reading this trilogy of books before I finally succeeded when I was about 19 or 20. But I still found some of the action hard to follow, and the characters and their motivation confusing. I was not enough of a fan to read and re-read until I had it straight, so I was never ...
