A review by bernieanderson
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
This is probably my 8th or 9th time reading LOTR.
There's something timely about this particular reading, as the world has gone mad with COVID-19 and protesting and nationalism and despotic politics. LOTR always brings me to a place of joy and hope, as a story about the small and the least becoming more important than they ever knew they could be. Tolkien's world is so alive to me. I see Middle Earth every time I hike in mountains or walk in a forest. I am so grateful this story exists. It's an archetype for so many others.
So on to The Two Towers.
