The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

robertg's review against another edition

Ok so, the beginning skipped part of the company splitting up and i feel like that was a part of the story that should not have been skipped and it kinda drew me out of the story for a while. the middle 3rd was good and felt much more like the rest of the series compared to the 1st third. The climax of the series happened about 2/3 of the way in so the left an entire third of the book to wind down and actually end...while it covered all bases, it felt overly drawn out to me. Still a good book, i enjoyed it, but the weakest of the 3.

Amazing and utterly epic wrap-up of the Lord of the Rings novel. Brought tears to my fragile eyes because of it's sheer greatness.
