5.0
The story is masterfully told. Every event even the mistakes had to happen in exactly the way that they did. It is in looking back on the events on the previous two books from the perspective on this one that you really appreciate the masterful tapestry that Tolkien has woven.
This book is a love letter to friendship. While it encourages all of us to fight against the evils of the world and it reminds us that even the least likely among us can change the course of history. The real core is the way that Sam loves Frodo and Merry and Pippin miss their best friend. My wish for all of us is that we have the rare gift of a friend as loving as Samwise Gamgee.
Overall, this was a total win for me. I'll keep coming back because it fills my heart with hope and warmth and love.
