[Book Review] The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Finally, got my hands on the classic trilogy of J.R.R Tolkien. "The Fellowship of the Ring" is the first book in the series of 'The Lord of the Rings' and it was off to a good start. This fantasy successor of 'The Hobbit' was equally interesting though they share similar plotline.

Frodo, the niece of Bilbo Baggins journeys from his beloved hometown Shire, to dispose the ring of evil. Joining him on his great quest are eight followers. The unlikely fellowship makes their way through the dark days and good ones to reach their goal.

If you liked 'The Hobbit' then you must catch this trilogy not only because there are references to the previous book but also that this will not disappoint you. The writing style is similar; Tolkien always had the use of lofty and high sounding language. It kinda went well with the story's setting. The other thing I really noted was the fact that Tolkien never used the same set of description to describe a similar view. This is the reason you never really get bored of the book and this is also the reason I managed to finish the book reasonably quick :)
I loved the way the fellowship traversed almost all over the map of The Middle-Earth; quite a lot of miles mind you! :) and by the way the map comes with the book so you can check now and then where the group is headed. I honestly can't believe that Tolkien had all this in his head; the sight of the map is enough to make you sick. He's a brilliant writer for sure and I'm pumped up to start the second one but I would like to squeeze some other books before I begin the second heavy journey.
