Frodo and Sam 💕💖💚💝 I would love for these types of relationships to make their way back into fiction please!! Adventure is nothing without your friends and companions.

Tolkien really is a master of words and storytelling. There were sentences, that just described the landscape or a sunrise that made me stop reading for a moment and just be in awe of how beautifully written they are. 
Just as the first book, this story and its themes is still so current and so many quotes from the book hit home for me.
I was surprised to see, that the book, unlike the movie, is split in two parts, with the first following Merry and Pippin and the trio of hunters and the second part telling Frodo's and Sam's story. At first I was a bit sceptic, if I wouldn't get a bit bored of just following Frodo and Sam for 200ish pages, but I think, I actually prefer it this way. In the book the relationship between Frodo and Sam and the love between them is so much more clear and more explored. I also really enjoyed Gollum as a character, who is really quite funny in some scenes. 
In general, with this book even more than part 1, you spend so much more time with the characters than the movies do and can, and I just loved reading the small scenes between the different memebrs of the fellowship, but also seeing other characters like Faramir more fleshed out.
