The Start Of A Great Adventure!, 2 Mar 2004
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!
