Frodo is a hobbit and he's got a ring from his uncle Bilbo (The book "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien is about Bilbo) and after a while we understand that this ring has belonged to the dark lord Sauron which needs this ring to rule the whole middle earth. (Wich is where the story takes place) The ring gives him power and it wants to come back to Sauron wich has made it in the lava of mount Doom. To destroy this ring, and by that sauron looses all his powers, there are nine people that's gone out. The fellowship of the ring. They all have to go on a dangerous journey, with many enemies and evil creatures that chases them.

The elves of Lothlórien and the beautiful landscapes that are described by the book. It's so beautiful that you almost can't imagine it.

I guess I didn't like that the book was finished. But there were really a lot of names to remember.

Know what happend after it. The ending was a bit sad. Goodbyes and crying. But it was after all a kind of a happy ending, so it wasn't that sad. It was kind of a dreamy ending

Angry, Dreamy, Sad, Happy, Depressed, all the things that you can feel in one book.

Is a really good writer. i read this book in Norwegian, but I know there is a bit of "heavy reading". J.R.R. Tolkien sure had a *great* fantasy! And he is one of the best authors I've read books of that describes the landscape as well as he does.

It gives you all the different feelings, although it's a book of round 900 pages. If you read a bit and arent one of the those who thinks that if a book is more than 50 pages long, it's not good or you wont read it. If you are one of those, I don't recommend it, but if you are a bit patient and likes to read, this is one of the best books that are made (Atleast my opinion)
