  rating: 4 of 5 stars<br/>	The book that I read for my book report is The Return of the King written by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is the third and final book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He has written The Hobbit, The Two Towers, and The Fellowship of the Ring. In the past books the group known as the fellowship start to move from Rivendell to Mordor. In this book, Frodo and his friend Sam reach there final goal.
<br/>		With all of the main events there come weak events and weakness in the novel. One weakness in the book was that the ending kind of keeps people wandering what happens after the war. Another weakness is that the fact that Bilbo Frodo’s uncle does not seem to go anywhere expect to the Gray Havens. One main weakness is that Frodo leaves Middle Earth forever. Another key weakness is that Saruman does not die until the hobbits kill him. J.R.R. Tolkien could have added on to the ending by making it longer. He could have also put more into the epilog. He could have let Bilbo Baggins go to Minas Tirith to see Frodo. Maybe even back to the shire for a couple of days. Tolkien could have let Frodo stay for a few years just to make sure everything in the shire gets back up and running. Tolkien could have let the ents (tree herders) have the fun with him.
<br/>Out of all of the main events in the book the one that I liked the most was the Battle for Minas Tirith. I liked this the most because it showed that even an undersized army could hold off a major one. One character that made this book interesting was Pippen. He was in a lot of trouble because he was very nosy. Another character is Legolas. He is an elf and he is from the woodland row. He is very important to the fellowship because he can see farther and hear more things then anyone else in the fellowship.
<br/>	The Return of the King has some huge events like Frodo destroying the Ring of power. This was a very good novel; even though it had many weaknesses. The type of reader that would like this book is people that are into fantasy and someone who has read the first two books or has seen the movies. This book is for readers between the ages of ten and above because it will be confusing for people younger than ten.
