I’m so glad I’m finally done with this series. Someone told me Tolkien didn’t feel like he needed an editor and now I understand why these books are the way they are. 
This is a good book. It’s a solid ending to an extensive saga. I like how it ends. I like where Sam goes. I like how Merry and Pippin stay celebrated. and I like that Frodo just can’t fit in anymore. He’s been too badly hurt to stay. 
The book’s very different from the movies. The movies narrow down but I’m sad they cut out all of the happenings in the Shire. 
All in all, glad I’ve read this series. Glad to be done with it too.

Just excellent. Tolkien is a master storyteller and he sure knows how to write a climactic ending. Loved this book and the whole series.

Oh my whole heart. There is nothing sweeter than the last pages of The Lord of the Rings. I love stories of coming home again.

It’s evident that there is no greater work in fantasy written in the English language. All fantasy that has followed has taken some of LOTR’s vital essence into itself. It is simply masterful.
