The Ultimate version of Lord of the Rings
I can't say enough about this book...Tolkien is the master. Even before the genius of Peter Jackson and his cast and crew this book stood alone for it's amazing otherworldliness yet in our world. It is so real it feels and you almost believe this is a true account of our very early history...the beginning...kind of makes you nostaglic for Hobbits and Elves and grand adventures. I love this book but more about this actual edition of this magnificient epic. I love this version because not only is it how Tolkien intended (all three together), it is done beautifully at that. With maps and appendices, annexes, and indexes and everything....everything you are looking for and could want. It is large and includes every word. It even has a red bookmark included. It has a hard slipcover to protect ... I can't say enough about this book...Tolkien is the master.

It's great, you won't be disappointed.

The Ultimate Fantasy Novels!
The Lord of the Rings in my opinion is the best fantasy series ever written. J. R. R. Tolkien elaborately created a world with such detailed history, complexity and consistency that you are completely drawn into the story. There is no detail that is forgotten in these stories and the descriptions of characters, places, battles and situations are extremely rich and vivid. The story starts off with an unusually eccentric hobbit (Bilbo Baggins) preparing to celebrate his "eleventy-first" birthday. "Bilbo was very rich and very peculiar, and had been the wonder of the shire for sixty years, ever since his remarkable disappearance and unexpected return. Thhe riches he had brought back from his travels had now become local legend, and it was popularly believed, whatever the old folk might ...

Thhe riches he had brought back from his travels had now become local legend, and it was popularly believed, whatever the old folk might say, that the Hill at Bag End was full of tunnels stuffed with treasure........." The story grows and builds and weaves the characters and amazing land of Middle-Earth together into an inspiring adventure that never stops until the last page. Hobbits, Wizards, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Uruk-hai and many more wondrous creatures await you. You will not be disappointed in this book (these books). If you have seen the movies I encourage you to read the books, as there is so much detail missing from the movies; (even as detailed and grand a the movies are). These books allow you to see the story, the characters, the places and battles in your mind as vividly as if you were watching a movie. (A small factoid for you; these stories which are now usually a trilogy and sometimes a single compilation were originally six books which were intended by the author to be published as a single novel. The publisher broke it up and printed it as a trilogy(1954) because it was thought to be too long as a single novel) * I would also recomend reading: The Hobbit by: J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit is actually the story about Bilbo and how he gains possession of "The Ring" and how he meets many of the main character in the Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit also gives you amazing history and background to lead up to the Lord of the Rings. ENJOY THE BOOKS! AND PLEASE RATE MY REVIEW.

Elaborate review
One of the advantages of the novel is, certainly, the style in which the novel was written. What is interesting about it, is the fact that nowadays, the vocabulary and stylistic means used in “Lord of the Rings” might actually be more interesting than around the time it has been originally published. It is mainly thanks to the archaic—and quite lofty—tongue that has been used to portray all the events; it suits them very well and quite accurately corresponds with their scale and seriousness. Descriptions used in the book are very satisfying and rich in detail, where such detail is needed. Going through the depiction of the fields of Rohan, the reader can nearly feel the wind in his / her hair, while the image of Moria can evoke a severe emotion of unease. Descriptions of battles and ... One of the advantages of the novel is, certainly, the style in which the novel was written.

It is mainly thanks to the archaic—and quite lofty—tongue that has been used to portray all the events; it suits them very well and quite accurately corresponds with their scale and seriousness. Descriptions used in the book are very satisfying and rich in detail, where such detail is needed. Going through the depiction of the fields of Rohan, the reader can nearly feel the wind in his / her hair, while the image of Moria can evoke a severe emotion of unease. Descriptions of battles and smaller skirmishes are dynamic and very clear. Heroes of the “Lord of the Rings” can be divided into two groups: a group that has received heavy character development (Frodo, Smeagol), and a group of those who have remained nearly the same through the entire novel (all the rest). It seems that both Frodo and Smeagol change their personalities only due to the influence of the One Ring, which implies that, if it were not for the artifact, they too would remain the same. Regardless of how two-dimensional the heroes of the novel may be, what’s visible to the naked eye of a reader is still pretty interesting. For the needs of his book, Tolkien has created people (elves, dwarves and hobbits) of nearly unbreakable determination. WARNING – HERE BE SPOILERS! The world of the “Lord of the Rings” is filled with the notion of struggle for justice. Most instances of bestowing justice upon the world, are guided by the laws of retributive justice, in which only the defending side has rights to find compensation for their loss. With wealth-being of the aggressors ignored, “Lord of the Rings” definitely fits its genre in the kind of justice it proclaims and it does so until one of the last chapters, namely the one depicting Frodo’s homecoming. As the readers already know, under the absence of the main protagonist Shire has been completely changed. Hobbits became suspicious of strangers, very strict regulations has been enforced by the newly-founded militia, composed mainly of thugs, lovely hills of his homeland has been leveled and destroyed and once clear sky has been intoxicated by chocking clouds of smoke from furnaces. Seeing the magnitude of damage, having discovered who stands behind the degradation and finally apprehending the villain Frodo does something rather rare for a hero of a fantasy novel. Instead of punishing the main perpetrator—Saruman of all colors—Frodo decides to banish him from his lands. What is more unusual he also offers forgiveness to Grima, Saruman’s right hand. Such an act is, clearly, an example of the restorative justice, according to laws of which, the victim does not punish the offender, but after offering him a possibility of a peaceful coexistence, they both start the process of healing. Such an approach is fairly atypical for fantasy novels, which—in most instances—employ the motive of righteous vengeance (retributive justice) or the torment of the perpetrator, imposed on him by his own conscience or by fate (poetic justice). END OF SPOILERS I hope my review was interesting enough, for some to read all of it. Generally speaking, the book is an obligatory ABC of fantasy genre and I recommend it with all my heart.

The best version of Lord of the Rings, the most accurate plus beautiful too
If you are a Tolkien fan this is the one to own. Not only is the book visually gorgeous, but it conforms to Tolkien's vision. He never meant to have it published in three books, it was meant to be one big book. Like this one. But much more important, most of the versions you will find in print are WRONG. They contain numerous corrections that were not needed and change the tone and color of many parts of the story. Tolkien invented many words and variations on words that editors mistook as errors and "fixed". Tolkien's son Christopher has waged a campaign to correct this, and this book is arguably the most accurate. Worth ever penny.If you are a Tolkien fan this is the one to own.

Tolkien...Best fantasy writer, ever!
First the book itself is just beautiful; I love collectors' copies of books. As far as the stories go,(this and The Hobbit)these are the best fantasy stories I have read, the first time I read these was when I was a kid back in the 70's and I have reread them several times over the years. There is so much detail and the characters are wonderful. All of the movies suck, as usual some director in Hollywood decided to change the story, but if you remotely liked the movies you will love the books, and believe me you will not regret spending the time to read them!First the book itself is just beautiful; I love collectors' copies of books.
