J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Del Rey, 2001

"The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings", book set by J.R.R. Tolkien
The classic and age old story of good vs. evil told in a way that captures the imagination from the first book to the last. Books to gather enjoyment and wisdom from as the tale unfolds: "The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but ...

The Silmarillion

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2001

Must read
Wasn't my intention, but I read Tolkien's books, in this order, LOTR, Hobbit, Turin, and Silmarillion. I think it has worked out quite well reading them in reverse chonologic order. The Silmarlillion is a fantastic backdrop and foundation to the entire world ...

The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2004

Smites every othe piece of modern fantasy
As far as this edition goes, I had a great experience. It's a steal for just over $50. Bit I'm not here to review this edition, I'm here to review Tolkien's masterpiece. Here it goes: The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien is in my opinion one of the single ...

The Hobbit

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2002

The Hobbit
I liked it better in English than in German, which isn't astonishing as the original is in English. I like Bilbo and his being an anti-hero and I felt with the elbs when they shot down the dragon who in the end got, what all greedy, power hungry people deserve.

The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2005

A Classic in Every Way
Full disclosure: I'm a fan that was brought in by the movies. Normally, I try to read a book before seeing it in movie form, but I was actually convinced not to in this case (more on that in a moment). Eventually, though, I watched the Peter Jackson film adaptations, ...

The Hobbit: 70th Anniversary Edition

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

For Adults Too
"A classic. Some consider it a children's book, but it's certainly no more so than the Harry Potter series." -- Glenn G. Thater, Author of 'Harbinger of Doom'

The Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2002

Best edition of LOTR there is!
This review is for that of the edition of the book not the writing itself. Or course Tolkien's writing is phenomonal. This edition has a beautiful case and amazingly illustrated cover protecters. They are all hardcover and are not too heavy. The pages are near ...

The Children of Húrin

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

Excellent Story
The story was tough to get into; however, once I was into it, it was impossible to put down. The language style is a little tough to get used to, but once the story starts moving along you don't even notice it. This is another great book about elves and men. If you ...

The Lord of the Rings (BBC Dramatization, Consumer Edition)

J. R. R. Tolkien

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

Absolutely excellent
It wasn't until 2001 that I learned of the existence of this articular dramatization of Lord of the Rings, after having listened to the American program for well over ten years. Unfortunately, it was rather a difficult program to locate. I found a copy at my local ...

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo

J.R.R. Tolkien

Del Rey, 1988

The Great Magic
"Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight" is a great and holy work of literature and I return to it on an annual basis to breathe the air of its strong magic and to observe with awe its rutheless moral rigor. What a profound joy it is to foresake the barren land of ...

Morgoth's Ring: The Later Silmarillion, Part One (The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 10)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 1993

More in depth Silmarillion writings, and more depth than you could ever imagine
Part 1 starts out with another version of the Ainulindale. Tolkien would always be revising his stories and the reason for it could be many things. In the Ainulindale he rewrote it to make radical changes to the cosmology. It is very easy to see why most of his ...

The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien, Humphrey Carpenter

Houghton Mifflin, 2000

An interesting and enlightening read
Do you want to understand J.R.R. Tolkien and his fantastic stories? I mean, really understand them? Then you must get this book. This book is a collection of letters from the great man, ranging from a World War I love letter to a note written to his daughter just ...

The Hobbit (Illustrated Edition)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 1997

The Hobbit
I liked it better in English than in German, which isn't astonishing as the original is in English. I like Bilbo and his being an anti-hero and I felt with the elbs when they shot down the dragon who in the end got, what all greedy, power hungry people deserve.

Unfinished Tales: The Lost Lore of Middle-earth

J.R.R. Tolkien

Del Rey, 1988

Simply breathtaking
...because breathtaking is the one word I would use to describe this work. People who have already read the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and most especially the Silmarillion will have great appreciation for the further insight and mythology offered in the Unfinished ...

The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Book 3)

J.R.R. Tolkien, Rob Inglis

Recorded Books, 2001

Great Book
I got the whole "Lord of the Rings" trilogy for my husband woh loved the movies. He has truly enjoyed listening to the audiobooks and so have I. The reader is excellent and provide different voices for each character. I would compare the reader to Stephen Fry of the UK ...
