Product Description

Synopsis

The first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, "The Lord of the Rings", featuring a cover image from the film. Impossible to describe in a few words, J.R.R. Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal. To celebrate the release of the major motion picture trilogy, this title is a reissue of the A-format paperbacks with images from the films on the covers, It tells of how the young hobbit, Frodo, is bequeathed a magical ring from his Uncle Bilbo and learns that he must take it into the land of the Dark Lord, Sauron, there to cast it into the Cracks of Doom.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Start Of A Great Adventure!, 1 Mar 2004
By no1filmaddict (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I went to see 'The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring' when it first came out at the cinemar in late 2001 and i immediately became a fan of 'The Lord Of The Rings'. After seeing how good the film was, i decided that i would give the book ago, afterall, that was what the film was taken from. Althogh it took quite along time to get through it, due to the fact that there are over five hundred and fifty pages, it was still worth it in the end, and it actually helped me to understand the film a bit more.

Obviously the story is the same as the film. A young hobit called Frodo is given the task of taking 'the one ring' to Mount Doom, and there to destroy it, thus stopping the evil dark lord Sauron getting is hands on it and plunging the world into absolute darkness and destroying all life from Middle Earth.

I can't really say which is better to he honest. Book or film? Film or book? They are equaly as good as each other. The book provides a more detailed look into the journey of the fellowship, while the film give us the action and the brilliant fight scenes that the book cannot show us. I definately found that watching to film first helped me to understand the book a little better, however this will differ from person to person

If you have seen the film and like it then this book is a must-have, or if you are a fan of fantasy books, this will also be a real treat. This book will give your hours of enjoyment, and is probably somthing that you will want to read more than once, i know i did, and all this makes it well worth the money. You will not regret embarking on this great adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read, 26 Nov 2003
By A Customer
amazing, this is a book to read to help you broaden your imagination. i must confess i did watch the film first and that was so amazing i thought i have to see this in black and white. we all have fantasys but to be able to put them down on paper and bring them to life as tolkien has is sheer genius, i challenge anyone to say otherwise! but beware, some of the words can get confusing, not a book to be read in a rush, one to be savoured!
