The Fellowship of the Ring is the first volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure tale, The Lord of the Rings.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
“A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning.”—The New York Times

It was a pretty slow book in my opinion but it looked to be building up for the next book
All I can is that I feel robbed not ever having the experience or the pleasure of Tom Bombadil. No one ever told me about him! Why would they cut him off in the movies and why do they think adding him now into a tv series was any better? It was awful! Other than that I was reliving the movie in my mind as I was listening to it.
Great product!
This is a classic fantasy novel. I love that the hero isn't some powerful warrior, but is instead a brave little hobbit who is caught up in a world that is far beyond anything he could've imagined.
I really liked this book, & I would also recommend the hobbit if you haven't read that yet (this is only a recommendation)
