"The Lord Of The Rings" chronicles, is a prelude: The Hobbit, and three chronicles: The Fellowship of The Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of The King written by J.R.R.Tolkien. I didn't choose to read him, yet I was pressured into reading the Hobbit, and couldn't stop without reading the other three books. I love the theme of this man. He writes in a very detailed, , mind-catching, fantasy world. I get pulled back into his books because, he really expresses the nature of people, through funny little characters in whole new worlds. He even adds wonderful, descriptive artwork to his reading, to aid the reader in understanding the state the races were in. I have recommended this book to many people that don't prefer to read, and they most likely get hooked on his style of writing. He is a very fun author to read. he expresses his philosophy of writing, and life, through the tasks of the simple man, and his Christian beliefs. .
The Hobbit ( 287 pages).
Tolkien wrote this book in a world of fantasy, to reflect the certain truths about the real world. He does this by putting the characters into the same situation that humans are put into everyday. Should you choose right over wrong? Concern yourself about the wars around you? Should you live in your thoughts, and nobody else's for risk of losing your life? It's great. He gets this perspective from his Christian perspective. In this book, the good characters(elves, dwarves, humans) are put up to a great tests of their strengths throughout the book. They must choose their direction in traveling, and take risks that could cost them their life, for the well-being of their race. The characters learned to live life the "right" way by being put up to all those tests. All of these races are forced to unite as one to defeat good and evil (animals.) Of course, the good race comes out on top, and starts the chronicles of "The Lord of The Rings.".
