Publisher Description
Begin your journey into Middle-earth...
The inspiration for the upcoming original series on Prime Video, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure 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.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power—the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring—the ring that rules them all—which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
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.

Addicting
This book is very fun to read and VERY addicting. I love it very much. When I read it I don’t notice anything around me so it feels like I’m in another dimension.
Nothing like the Peter Jackson film
The movie took so many liberties on the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of the Ring. If I had to put a number on it, only about 15% of the actual Tolkien book made it to film production. Even with that, the parts that did make it in, roles and dialogues were given to other characters not matching the book’s. I had not realized how in depth Tolkien describes scenes (It seems to be more prevalent than actual dialogue). Nevertheless, the book was a great read. Clearly the film has more action. But the book has more depth in the action scenes than the film does (and much more detail). It was a really good read. However, if you’re not a big reader, I recommend only reading the first 5 chapters (skip the prologue. It is Hobbit lore; kind of boring unless you’re into that) and then skip to the second part of this volume (the second book of “The Fellowship of the Ring”). You will be skipping 5 chapters. I recommend finding a detailed summary of what happens in these chapters. The reason why I say this is because a lot of this part seems to be not fully relevant to the overall plot of the Lord of the Rings and is a lot of traveling outside of the Shire and travel to Bree. The film already does somewhat of a good job in highlighting that part. So, if you’ve seen the film, and as long as you get a good summary of the next 5 chapters after 5, then you won’t be missing much. The book really starts to pick up at chapter two (or “The Council of Elrond”). Overall, this was great work and way different than the film (rewarding to read). I look forward to reading the next two volumes.
