The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
3.0
***For some reason I haven't added this book in my read selve....***
The last arc for the lord of the Rings series. And whether the movies had to end with a boom, the book didn't do so. I did love that the ending had some questioning on the society and the changes that time brings. However, honestly, in these books, Tolkien's writing killed me. It was a slow death. The chapters went for pages and pages, with long speeches and so. The action was less and the poems plenty. I have read this one back in high school and I still remember struggling to finish it, although, Tolkien has a magical way to make you stick to it.
