Incredible conclusion to a classic trilogy. I’m so glad I finally read these. I was worried at first that the end of the story would drag on too long, but I ended up really enjoying everything that happened after the journey to Mordor.

Easiest 5 Stars I've ever given. Happy to have finally read this.

I'm sad that I waited so long - growing up I always thought the movies were good enough. I never expected to be moved so much by this series knowing all of the main plot points.

The movies adapted this so incredibly well, but as with many series, could never fully convey the beauty these books have.

I'll treasure this journey I had with the fellowship for years to come.
