thereadingnomad13 's review for:

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
3.75
adventurous hopeful inspiring relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Hot take: I liked the movie better (don't come for me).

However, it's a beloved fantasy classic for a reason, and I still greatly enjoyed it despite the somewhat slogging beginning. For anyone struggling with getting through the first part, I highly recommend the audiobook with narration by Andy Serkis. He brought the written story to life so wonderfully, and I would love to read more books narrated by him in the future.
