The Return of The King

      The Return of The King by: J.R.R. Tolkien is the third and last part in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The book begins with Gandalf and Pippin riding by horseback to Minas Tirith. As they are riding to Minas Tirith great forces of evil are gathering to try and defeat the race of man. These great forces start by capturing Osgiliath, then Sauron's forces gather on the Pellanor Fields to begin the siege of Minas Tirith. Then, of course, the good guys win, but that doesn't mean that the fighting is over. The part of the Fellowship that is in Gondor is going to distract Sauron by knoking on his front door, the Black Gates, and starting a war to distract him from Frodo and Sam. Now on to Frodo and Sam's journey to Mordor. When they left off, Frodo had been captured by orcs and taken to the tower of Cirith Ungol. Then, being the trusty sidekick that he is, Sam comes and saves Frodo from the tower so they can continue their quest to Mount Doom. Once they have traveled across Mordor to the foot of Mount Doom, they must scale the mountain to destroy the ring. Once they destroy the ring they can head back to the peaceful and quiet land of Hobbiton right? Wrong! When they arrive they find that the Shire had been overrun by Saruman. After things get taken care of in Hobbiton, Frodo feels the need to leave Middle Earth at the Grey Havens along with Bilbo and Gandalf, therefore, ending the trilogy.
     This book was amazing to read! First of all because it's Lord of the Rings...duh. It was also great to read because of the feeling of success you feel from Frodo and Sam destroying the ring once and for all. Although, I didn't really like the ending because I didn't really understand why Frodo wanted to leave, especially Gandalf and Bilbo. When I finished the book I was thinking, "I've read Lord of the Rings... now what do I do with my life?!?" Overall, I hope you end up reading this amazing trilogy.
