I have wanted a copy with this all together for a long time and I was lucky enough to come across this lovely hardcover for $5 the other day. I can not wait to read this as one.
Sarina
This book will take you to a world full of unreal wonders, yet so vivid. Some say it is too long, but I say the descriptive tale helps to imagine more clearly and delve into the amazing storyline. No characters could I ignore, they were unique in their own way. This type of book is very rare, so I'm glad I have read it.

Those who are not sure whether to read it, I suggest watching the movies first, and then dive into the world of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarfs, Men, the evil and the powerful Ring.
