tylergourdin 's review for:
The Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkien
The greatest story every told as far as I’m concerned. Never will a book have as large an impact on my life as this has. It is the first true high fantasy novel and a better one will likely never be written. Every aspect is crafted with such care that it is staggering that it came from one mans mind. Never since have I encountered such a deep and layered world and history as that of Middle Earth. The writing and language itself is absolutely peerless. The characters are as legendary as the story itself, Gandalf, Frodo, Aragorn, Sauron and Gollum to name a few. It perfectly encapsulates the hero’s journey in its purest form. Excitement and wonder are understatements compared to the utter depths of my feelings for this story. This is a story that has been copied countless times but never matched or exceeded. I will continue to read this many times in my life and each time will bring me as much happiness as the first.
