athenarena 's review for:
The Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkien
There are books that change you, that stay with you until the day you die and you can see when you close your eyes.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy did that for me. Tolkien here expertly utilises his knowledge of Anglo-Saxon folk stories in particularly Beowulf from his job a professor of Old English to build a world that is both realistic and magical.
Using a varied and intriguing cast of characters, the fight of good versus evil, of our strengths and limits, have never been shown so humanly flawed and so compellingly.
Tolkien through his magical work that will forever and always be my favourite opened the door for the fantasy genre in a new and original way.
