Fellowship of the Ring by Tolkien is the first book in the Lord of the Rings series. This book is about a hobbit named Frodo. Frodo's uncle before he leaves gives Frodo a gold ring. At first Frodo doesn't think much about the ring but he soon finds out how important the ring is. The ring is the last ring made by the legendary elf smiths and it is the key to destroying the evil Lord Sauron. If Sauron gets the ring he will be unstoppable.

Now armed with this information, Frodo starts off on a quest to destroy the ring. He and his friends decide to walk all the way across the world. On the way they are faced with many challenges, mostly coming from the Black Riders. The Black Riders follow them everywhere and cause tons of problems for them. All three books are about Frodo and his friends walking to their destination.

This book wasn't very good. Almost all of the book was talking or walking. For example, there are whole chapters or pages where side characters talk about what happened in their area. This is extremely boring. When this book has action it's great, but there isn't enough action to keep anybody entertained for any amount of time. So if this book had more action and less walking and talking it would have been one of my all time favorites. So for these reasons I'm giving this book a c+.

I do need to mention that this book was written a long time ago so it uses some phrases and words that we don't use anymore. So be ready to have to look up some words.
