What is there more to say about the first of Tolkien’s classic trilogy that hasn’t been said a thousand times over? These books are classics for a reason. Wonderful characters, a creeping anxiety, and plenty of adventure to keep the pages turning, all in the midst of a beautiful fantasy setting that lights up the imagination. I’d never read these before but I’m so happy I started now - what a pleasure!
