Tämä oli 10-vuotiaana huikea lukukokemus, muistan miten pelottava oli lukea sankareiden matkaa Morian halki. Tämä toinen uudelleenlukukierros oli lähinnä nostalginen. Oli kyllä hyvä tuulettaa elokuvaversioita vähän pois mielestä, tykkään kirjan rytmityksestä ja painotuksista enemmän.
Leer la saga completa ha sido todo un reto, la extensión es demasiada y el ritmo de los libros muy desigual, por momentos avanza muy rápido, en otros Tolkien se detiene y dedica varios párrafos a describir momentos, lugares y pensamientos de los protagonistas, al final del primer libro cuesta entender como se maneja el tiempo, como tras la separación de los grupos y después de manera nada apresurada se vuelven a unir sus historias y destinos.
Es la épica moderna de la que maman todas las modernas épicas de fantasía, literatura, juegos y música, su importancia es enorme y está hermosamente realizado, aunque no es para nada una lectura ligera y puede por momentos hacer que uno se desespere, al igual que el viaje de Bilbo, al final vale la pena todo.

Tolkien, Middle Earth, read 10000 times, classic!
Massively huge paperback, with very unfortunate cover art. It was a gift, so complaints can't be made. What counts is what's inside... and with this huge book, one really feels the weight of this legendary adventure. Tolkien's language, at first, is so complex and seemingly impenetrable. Even in his language, now several generations removed, he tries to create the air of ancient times. Once accustomed to the way of, not only the speaking of the characters, but the language of narration is written, the consistency achieved in expressing this world, this society and it's clear divisions of class and race, is awe inspiring. So many beautiful passages. Beautiful scenes. Also humor. Plenty of humor, suspense and drama. Sure, you know, that somehow, somehow, the heroes will prevail, but as is often said about life, it's the journey, not the destination, that Tolkien so masterfully sets before the reader. What more can be said, really. A certified classic that so many have already reviewed. I was quite late to the game with this one. Nearly took the easy route when the films came out, but realized straight away that this was something to be read, not fed. It was worth the initial effort. No doubt.

When my grand parents moved, they gave me a box with my dad's books. The lord of the ring was among them. And it is by far my favorite book! I spent so many nights reading it over and over, getting excited by what was coming, impatient to read the beautiful ending. Best book ever.
And that's that on the Appendices. I made it! And it only took me like, half a year.
