I adored this book
+ An interesting read, if not in everyone's taste

The Lord of the Rings (Illustrated Edition) 1002 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien

Lord of the Rings Book Review
+ Amazing trilogy + Great book, great illustrations, great buy!
Hello there,
I am about half-way through the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am loving it. I am amazed at how Tolkien is so descriptive in his writing and puts so much thought to it. The first one-hundred pages are a little rough, but after that it is impossible to put the ...
