The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - J.R.R. Tolken

one sentence summary:
there is a ring that must be taken on a long journey and then thrown in a volcano.

review:
This is the epitome of fantasy writing, they made the genre more popular, first when the novels were published and then again when they were made into films. In my opinion they are well written but long winded, the details go on for pages, so much so that it gets a bit boring from time to time. The plot is good, the action is detailed and the characters are all endearing. I recommend this only to fantasy fans and never ever as an introduction to the genre.

5/10
