The Lord of the Rings
In my opinion, the best novel ever written. It astounds me how Tolkien created such a detailed world, with it's own races, history, and even it's own languages. I can re-read each book and they never...

A very good book I think...but not the best ever written. I do give Tolkien major props for making an entire world with a very deep mythology and even its own languages...considered that Tolkien was...

I'm a huge Tolkien fan, but let's be honest, he could have used some tasteful editing of The Lord of the Rings. While I love the huge epic scope it is a bit overlong, and there's stuff that could have...

Apart from all the descriptions which are a bit tough to get past, especially in the first book since they seem to drag on forever.. Lord of the Rings is among one of my favorite written works. I do...

I read the whole trilogy a few years ago. I still think the hobbits are gay. Men don't usually kiss each other if they're just friends. Not where I live. Someone on the writing staff of The OC thinks...
