It's hard to review Lord of the Rings, its impact on fantasy makes it more of a biblical text than a fantasy novel. We owe almost everything we have in contemporary fantasy to the Lord of the Rings. Aside from that, its still a beautiful read, and a joy. Every member of the fellowship has their own individual character traits/flaws/personalities/longings and it's a real pleasure to follow them. (Also as someone from the south of England its really special to see a lot of my surroundings and culture highlighted in The Shire. There's nothing to me quite like the British countryside, and I'd also journey to Mordor to protect it)

Don't read this book if you're expecting it to be just like the movie. There are some differences between the two, which is to be expected, but by reading this book I gained greater respect and appreciation for Jackson's movie interpretation.
The story is a bit hard to read than most books, the verbiage is not common, and some of the descriptions can be a little lofty, but it is all worth it.
