I read this as part of my son's bed-time story. There are a lot of dark points in the book but so much about people continuing to try and do their best, even when all hope is lost. It's a great lesson for any child and it's the reason the Lord of the Rings remains one of my favorites.
Es una oda al dolor intrínseco en la aventura. esta obra completa es un canto a la fuerza menospreciada de los "débiles" ejemplificada en los hobbits. Es una reprimenda al poder y todo lo que conlleva.
Esta trilogía es una travesía dura y algo pesada pero no hay nada como ella. El mejor viaje fantástico jamás escrito porque dice más del peso de la realidad que incluso los de aventuras reales. Aunque fue algo fascinante, creo que el disfrute real vendrá cuando lo vuelva a leer.

This book was really hard to read, but well worth it. Yes, I read it before the first movie came out, so I came to it late. (I read The Hobbit years ago, but never made it to LOTR.) But I'm glad that I did finally come to it. It's an amazing trilogy. Probably the best fantasy series ever written. Just the thought that Tolkien created this world and all of those languages is amazing, but to actually put a great story in them, too, makes it even more awesome.
If you're not afraid, check it out. It took me, like, a year to read, but I'm glad I did it.
