khollern 's review for:
The Return of the King
by J.R.R. Tolkien
Absolutely magnificent. An all time great work of literature. I read the entire Lord of the Rings (All three books as most know them - but really six books...or one book...whatever) consecutively. It took me the entire The Fellowship of the Ring portion to get into Tolkien's style and I almost want to reread this portion as I don't believe I appreciated it as much as I should.
The Two Towers portion was superb and the Return of the King is one of the most captivating works of literature I've encountered. A true master writing at the top of his game. I may never have been as satisfied with a novel or saw an author so brilliantly bring a story to a satisfying end.
The movies are some of the greatest ever put on screen, favorites of mine, and they scarcely do the book justice. Plus, the movies both stray from the books and do not include many sections. To read a truly great book is a gift, and this work is Tolkien's gift to the world.
