One of the most adventurous books written, the story of a young man, is set on a perilous
journey to middle earth and to destroy the ring of power. Lord of the Rings, A three set series written by J.
R. R. Tolkien, a brilliant English Writer, Poet, and a philologist. Through forestry’s and
harsh roads, Frodo Baggins a young hobbit climbs his way through different unknown
lands with his closest friend Sam (who is also a hobbit) who sticks by him through the whole adventure. Frodo must bring the ring of power to its end, which controls darkness, imbued with fire and darkness it cannot be broken by any manmade tool but only a the to peek in a evil place known as Mordor. With Frodo keeping the ring hidden many try to look for it, good and bad, wars start and end victorious or not Frodo and Sam will carry on not knowing what will happen next. The ending is still unknown considering you must read all 3 books to the full series.

This book is highly recommended to the ones who loves adventurous based books, and about true friendship and knowing that you must never give up considering the situation. The use of words is very well used, very detailed and well described; it is easy to imagine the world that J.R.R. Tolkien invented, his creatures and time based fiction makes it a perfect story to read in your spare time. There are some downsides to this book; sometimes the reader will lose understanding of the story since most of this is in first person of Frodo Baggins but soon changes that we see all of the characters perspectives, confusing the reader, but overall is a easy book, and well detailed, also at the end of every book of the 3 series you are given maps that J.K.K. Tolkien created himself to understand more.

Frodo the character himself is very shy, and unconfident. This was a well suited character for this particular story, showing how he must build up courage and how he must give strength with his fellow friends who help him on the journey, with the turn arounds and unexpected problems to come up, Frodo must fight this battle with his friendship hanging in the balance. Will he make it out alive?
