One of my all time favorite books! I believe I’ve read it 4 or 5 times now, and plan to again.
All of the fantasy and adventure expected of Tolkien, but less dense than his other works.
(I may have read above my grade level as a kid because I loved reading so much, BUT) this still feels like a book to introduce a teen, or possibly an older child, to high fantasy. It’s a classic.
**IF YOU LIKE AUDIOBOOKS YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS READ BY ANDY SERKIS! Fantastic.
