An Absolutely Fabulous book to be enjoyed and marveled at by older tweens and up!
The reason I rated this iffy for 12 year olds is not due to content but simply because I am unsure whether kids under 12, and in fact even some 12 year olds, will be able to get through this book. If they can, then by all means let them read it, as this is an enchanting and beautiful masterpiece. The world that Tolkien has created feels just as real as the world we live in. Descriptions wonderfully detailed and in depth, story and story telling absolutely fantastic, and marvelously wonderful and likeable characters fill this book. A must read for anyone who can read a book this deap and thoughtful, especially fantasy lovers.

Amazing Classic
The Fellowship of the Ring might not be so action-packed at the start like recent fantasy stories these days, and contain archaic (if i might use that term) english terms that made me a little more than confused at first--but the description and creations are AMAZING.
A must read. Best fantasy book of all time.

This book is unbelievable.
In this book, you go to the shire, Anduin, Rivendell, Moria, and more. But if you thought this was good, just read the other two books in the trilogy. Also, at the end, the loss of Boromir is tragic, but it can show what happens - sometimes - when consumed by greed. Two thumbs up though.

Let Your Kids Read This Awesome Book
My favorite book, since i read it in third grade. Even then, i didn't get nightmares or anything. Read it aloud to your kids, or challenge your third, fourth, or fifth grader to read it and its sequels themselves like i did.

Interesting, but complex
Maybe it's just the book I bought (all three books in one), but this book can get extremely hard to follow at times, and sometimes even dull. In my life, this is one of the only books I've failed to finish due to lack of understanding and getting lost in the plot. In fact, even my brother, a college graduate, has stated that The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the dullest book he's read in his life, and that he'd rather use it as a paperweight. I don't think the book is THAT bad, but yes, it is a little complex and hard to follow.

AMAZING
This amazing fantasy novel is with no doubt the start of the best series I've ever read. It is the starting point of modern fantasy, and if you like elves that aren't little mischievious midjets, tolkien was the one to create them. This is not an easy read. Though amazing it has a complicated plot and lots of "Big Words". If you love fantasy at all, and are a good reader, than you will LOVE this book.

One of My Favorite Books
I loved this book. It was slow in parts but over all, I enjoyed it. There is a ton of drinking and violence. This book is better than the movie so read it before you watch it. I said pause for kids 10 and under because it moves kind of slow and is hard to read at a young age.

The Fellowship of the Ring
This classic fantasy novel has some of the few positive role-models you can find now. Great dialogue, amazing writing and the solid story behind the characters give it a 3-D feel.

slightly boring at first but gets way better
The book is quite good, Tolkiens new world is amazing and inspirational. But the beginning of the book is very dull and boring. As Frodo and his followers continue their quest wars rage and blood is drawn.The literature is very oldschool and might be hard to understand but you should really give it a try!

The Lord of the Fantasy Books.
It is an amazing book. I have seen all the movies and recently decided to read the books, and I just can't put it down. I have to read one book per quarter, and for each book make a slideshow and take a test. I think I know what my first 3 quarter books ill be!
(Why I put drinking, drugs, and smoking, because the characters smoke pipes and do drink some sort of mead or something, but very little is it mentioned)
