As a warm welcome beck into Tolkien's world into Middle Earth, we get to witness the suffering of our brave, little Hobbit, Pippin. Throughout the previous two books, we have not seen or heard much of Pippin as we should've. In this time, for you worried folks, we learn much about Gandalf and his previous adventures and his great knowledge. We then later meet other folk with crazy names. But for some strange reason, all of the names somewhat rhyme. (For example, Boromir, Deneothor, and Faramir.) So, it turns out they are all related in some sort of way. With all of the mistreating, dear Pippin finally gets his somewhat freedom around an area they call Minas Tirith. (Yes, the place they have been blabbing about this whole adventure.) Later on, many more events pick up that are by far "unexpected."
I really liked this book because it gave me satisfaction right after what happened in the second book. I also liked how it flipped from one group of people/ Hobbits to another between chapters. But, of course, it all came together in the end. (As expected.) But I did not like one thing and that was the obsession over the death of Boromir. Sure he has an important warrior, but seriously? Three chapters of nothing but Boromir? He died in the beginning of the last book! That drove me absolutely insane... But if you are amazing and can withstand all this Boromir talk, you would absolutely love this book. I recommend this book to anyone who has a sense of adventure, tons of patients, and anyone who has lots of time on their hands. I would overall rate this book at about a B-.
