Enter the depths and grandeur of a true classic as Tolkien binds you to his
fireside story with awesome people and places beyond the scope of film's
capability. The exquisite poetic beauty and timeless enchantment of this
master writer's prose will capture your heart: a story for all who delight in
pure fantasy with elves, dwarves, wizards, and trolls. Tolkien weaves a
magical tale so grand he adds charming hobbits and despicable orcs to the list
in such a way the reader believes they're part of his own history.
Come meet terrifying Ringwraiths, a deadly Balrog,
and the monstrous evil of Sauron as you enjoy this courageous adventure: a
harrowing quest into doom. These books are a must read because even
though Peter Jackson has done a marvelous job putting story to film, there
just wasn't time to tell you about Tom Bombadil, one of Tolkien's many
incredible characters that one doesn't see in the film. Nor did Jackson
have time to include Galadriel's wondrous gift-giving party, an essential part
of the story to all devout fans. And this is only a small sampling of
what the film left out, so get all three books (or the omnibus) before
you start reading because you won't want to stop in the middle. The
appendices (at the end of book three) are, for the curious, an adventure unto
themselves.
So follow Frodo the friendly hobbit as he travels Middle-Earth, gaining kingly allies on his way into deadly Mordor in an attempt to save his world from dark magic's incursion.
