J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: The most overrated story ever told

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 15:56:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mindwind1 - LotR ruined the fantasy genre. Because of this Tolkienian nightmare, fantasy writers today rarely say anything different with any depth, because everyone only wants to write about elves and other fresh-faced heroes saving ill-named worlds from dark lords...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: The 2nd Greatest Book in the History of Mankind

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:34:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nickeymouse_92 - This is the greatest book ever, other than the bible. It is amazing. After the first chapter I felt like I was with Frodo and Sam, that we were together. It was amazing, I went over mountains, into seas, I fought Orcs, and talked with Sauran. I loved...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: The All Time Classic Fantasy

Tue, 28 Sep 2004 17:47:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author steerpyke - Probably the most talked about tale of the moment is Tolkiens Lord of the Rings, having been released as three films, to match the trilogy of books that makes up the whole story. Whilst i have nothing but admiration for the films, all three are masterful...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: "One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them"

Mon, 14 Jun 2004 03:35:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mister_knowall - As I just finished my last book “bridge of birds” I thought of what book I should read next. There was no new book. So, I was sitting there alone in bad, with the lamp hardly giving enough light and was wondering of what book I should reread. I ran the...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: Fantasy at it's best!

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 08:58:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fifi_mousse - I love this book. I didnt start reading it until I found out the films where coming out and I'm so glad i read the books first as they are brilliant! Unlike the films, the books have all the time in the world to explain the story and its characters...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings

Thu, 27 Nov 2003 02:13:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nick9211 - I remembered the day a few years ago, when a friend of mine began reading the Lord of the Rings books during school. I would glance over at him and wonder why my good friend was reading such crap. For that's what I thought it was at the time: crap. I...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: The prerequisite to the entire genre.

Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:52:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jimmyu - How do you review the bible of fantasy? Almost every review of this book will be positive, and most would have to look hard to find any faults. Maybe the simplistic good vs. evil, the us and them labeling. The good guys, except for the hobbits, might be s...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: After Seeing the movie, experience a real classic

Sat, 6 Sep 2003 08:06:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Johan82580 - My Brother got this book for me for christmas one year and being a slow reader, it took me about 3-4 months to finish all of it. There were times when I'd be reading and I just needed to be finding what happened next, and then there were also times when i...

Fri, 5 Sep 2003 04:53:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author captaind - What can you say about what many people consider the greatest work of fantasy fiction ever? Er… they’re right? Known commonly as a Trilogy (Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, Return of the King), some people won’t realise that it’...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: Lord of the Rings, where it all began.

Sat, 24 May 2003 19:21:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ssjakira1 - First off, I just have to say I was amazed that this book hadn’t been reviewed. I guess all of the Lord of the Rings (LOTR for the rest of this review) reviews are all on an older version of the book.

Either...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angel011 - When I was seven, my mother gave me The Hobbit to read; it was the same copy which she was reading while pregnant with me. I loved the book; I remembered entire verses and quoted them to my friends. Alas, they didn’t share my enthusiasm (none...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: A Long Awaited Ceremony (Based on the third book: The Return of The King)

Wed, 30 Oct 2002 02:10:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author btter - To end the trilogy J. R. R. Tolkien wrote a terrific final book. It provides us with sorrow, defeat, hurts, new friends, and of course happiness. The last page in The Two Towers gives us suspense and a great urge to read on to find out what becomes of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author strife_raven - With all regards to "Return of the King," as you may have noticed, the King, and all the other characters of the "Lord of the Rings" have taken the country! The book by J.R.R. Tolkien, is obviously loved by many people, but why is that?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Laramoo - I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and at some points I could not put it down until I found out what would happen next. It was thrilling, exciting, and kept me entertained.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shaithis - Well I finally did it. Ever since I first read The Hobbit back in elementary school I had been meaning to read J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings but I never did get around to it...until now.

It took me virtually forever to finish this...

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 03:12:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gamer360 - Oh what a book! It has everything a fantasy needs. Wizards, quests, battles, orcs and did I mention battles? Even though this is already considered a classic I thought I'd put in my two cents and try writing a review.

Spoiler Warning! I don't...

J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings: Clear two weeks on your calender for these.

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 19:46:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shrike56 - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is the definition of fine fantasy authorship. Though a standard story of good versus evil, layers are added to this theme through fate, uncertainty, unlikely heros, and magic.

The depth of the world-building of...

Wed, 10 Oct 2001 17:15:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ingtar33 - Tolken's, The Lord of the Rings is (to many of the people who have read it) one of the finest yarns ever told. But I get ahead of myself; first let me fill you all in on a little bit about these books, and why I find them so tremendous. This will be my...

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 11:03:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sylvesterkat - I first read this book (all three volumes) when I was about 15 years old and I loved it then. Some years later that dreadful cartoon version was released and I was not very impressed. When I heard that LOTR was to be made into three movies I was excited...

Wed, 3 Oct 2001 17:48:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author airborneranger - The Lord of the Rings is an incredible novel. I can't say enough good things about it. It is definitely a "must read" for anyone who likes good literature.

The characters in this story are very textured. Tolkien takes his time to point out all the...
