Question: Is Lord of the Rings a good book!.!.!.!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am an avid reader!. I read stuff from Dr Seuss to Jane Austen!. And I loved LOTR!. If you read it, I recommend The Hobbit first!. But yes, the books are definently worth your time and effort!. Sure, you might not get all of the songs and which historical character went where!. But if you are like me (a huge bookworm), you see that LOTR is enjoyable, brain challeging, stimulating, suspenseful, and excellently written!. Try it!.
Tolkien pioneered adult fantasy and was a genius at it!. He's great!. I recommend these books greatly!. You can't go wrong here!.

It is consistently voted by British readers as the best book of the 20th Century!. In the last few years there were some surveys taken, and the literary community was much taken aback!. You need to start with The Hobbit!. You must understand that Tolkien's aim developed as he wrote The Hobbit and his literary style changed, too!. The Hobbit begins as just a children's book!. Overall, it is merely an into to The Lord of the RIngs!. The LOTR is one of the most profound books ever written!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is great!. It is the basis and inspiration for the entire modern fantasy genre!.

Detailed history, involved story and impressive characters!.

I've read it several time, and plan to read it several more!.

It's not necessary to read the Hobbit first, but it's not a bad idea!. Enjoy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it is!. It is without doubt on of the best novels I have ever read!. It's a bit slow moving for the first part, but it speeds up after that!. Tolkien is a genius in his description and characters, not to mention a water-tight, zero plot hole novel, filled with it's own complicated history and geography!. You should read it!.

Great answer, holmise, but it is called 'Lord of the Rings'!. There were many rings in Middle-Earth, not just the One Ring!. Orginally there were seven for the Dwarf Lords, three for the Elven Kings, and Nine for the Mortal Men!. Some of them had been destroyed, but not all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not a bad book but there are better one i'll never forget is by Mervyn Peak Known as the Gormengast Trlogy read in this order Titus Groan, Gormengast, and finally Titus Alone!.
If you really want to test the strength of "lord of the rings" merits read these books and tell me when you have, and what you think,
i look foward to your reply!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No doubt about it LOTR is one of the best literary feats of all time!. Ensure you read them in the correct order, i!.,e the Hobbit first!. This is the way Tolkien wanted it read in any case!. Its personal preference your question but if you enjoy reading in depth novels and novellas as i do then you should find Tolkien's books excellent reading!.

Sample it yourself!. Stick it out for a few chapters and if you dont enjoy it put the book down, simple!.

its a great book!. and coming from an avid reader and a bookworm, i have to admit that reading the books was a bit of a challenge for me!. sometimes its hard to understand it just because the language used is pretty old, and deep!.
