This all in one volume of The Lord Of The Rings also included the appendices.

After almost a month I finally finished all three as well as the first two appendices.  I was surprised  by the amount of differences between these and the movies. I get that movies can only be so long but I found that the books were more in depth.  The timelines were longer and I discovered characters that did not make the movie cuts.   

Tolkien did an incredible job building his world and continuing on from The Hobbit.  The details in all three books are great.  The stories immerse you into this world and make you feel as if you’re there.  I’m honestly impressed just how much Tolkien wrote about middle earth.  

Of the three my favorite would be Fellowship of the Rings.  I loved the introduction of the characters as well as the continuation of Middle Earth.   I’m really enjoying Tolkien and plan on reading more of his works.

Great for fantasy fans or those interested in starting Tolkien. Though I do recommend starting at The Hobbit first.
