(book report)

The Lord of the rings by J.R.R Tolken is a fantasy-based book about heroism and adventure. It takes place in the fictional land “Middle Earth” where war has broken out between humans and Orcs lead by the dark lord Sauron to destroy mankind and bring forth a new age of Orcs. Greatly outnumbered by hordes if Orcs, Trolls and many more savage beings, all hope falls to a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who has been given a powerful ring of  Elvish make that was used by Sauron himself.  To destroy the ring and Sauron with it he must travel across Middle Earth to Mt Doom beyond the Black Gate.

The story also tells of their guides Legolas the Elf, Aragorn the Ranger and Gimli the Dwarf who were separated from their Hobbit friends and set out on a path to fight the wars with man and buy precious time for Frodo in the final battle at the black gate.

I thought the book was very captivating and full of excitement; it was very hard to put down once I started reading it. There is lots of good dialogue and action with a very good storyline. But sometimes I lost interest when there was a scenery description that was very long and overly detailed. Also there were not that many tensing moments in the story because the story did not call for them, however the book was had captivating action and characters that made up for a lack of tensity.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy or adventure, or to anyone who likes a good long read. But in general I think that anybody would like and should read this book because there is nothing else really like it.
