The Fellowship of the Ring by J R R Tolkien is the first two books of the Lord of the Rings series. We follow Frodo as he gets the Ring and the adventures that being a ring-bearer forces him into.
I gave this book 3.5 out of 5 stars. It was interesting and I liked it for the most part. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and especially watching how they dealt with everything that happened. Being familiar with the movies, I found it fascinating to see the differences and the depth that couldn’t be captured in the film.
The part I struggled with the most was the slow pacing. Sometimes it felt like nothing was happening even though a summarization showed that there was plenty of action taking place. Perhaps it is Tolkien’s writing style, but it felt slow and sluggish at times.
Overall, it was a pleasant read and I look forward to seeing where the story goes from here.
