The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein

     Welcome back to Middle Earth! As we explore Tolkeins land, please try to avoid the giant Balrogs, Orcs, Spiders, and do mind the boring elves. But first, we revisit our old Hobbit who was the star of The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of Bag End under The Hill. He is living somewhat happily in his hole with his relative Frodo Baggins! Now, Frodo is very much like Bilbo and doesn't think very highly of great, dangerous adventures. With the many events that follow after the birthday party (long story), Frodo starts to edge toward the start of an adventure. Along with the help of Gandalf the Grey (not to be confused with Albus Dumbledore), Frodo learns lots of things that he should know, but didn't, about the Ring. Yes, this is the same Ring that Bilbo picked up in the Goblin mines before meeting Gollum in The Hobbit. All of a sudden, the Ring then becomes a big deal instead of a cool thing-a-majig to disappear with. This sets the rest of the story in place in which I will not talk about because I don't want to ruin it.

     I really liked this book and couldn't put it down. My fingers kept flipping the pages chapters ahead to see what happens because they are impatient, even if I told them not to. (Naughty fingers.) This book is perfectly plotted out for the other events that follow. If you are going to read this or are currently reading it. Please make sure that you get your names and rings right, there are too many names for one person! I also really enjoyed how some parts relate to events in The Hobbit. It will also give you hints on what happened to the dwarves in between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. There is also lots of foreshadowing that will later take place. (If you get curious to what the foreshadowing was for, don't peek ahead!) I would totally recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy book and has read The Hobbit. By the way, this book has a bit prologue, read it! It will be a big help later on!

P.S- I mentioned reading The Hobbit before The Fellowship of the Ring because it will be mighty confusing to read for those who have not read The Hobbit.

P.P.S- When you get to the part with the long talk with the Elves... Don't put the book down! You will regret it!
