The Lord Of The Rings (Set Of 3 Titles) 1st Edition

The Lord of the Rings is a book which you can read any number of times and still find something new. I read it almost 7-8 times, everytime I go home. Its more than a book and i rarely suggest a new reader(fearing disrespect for the book). 1st time I completed the book within 10hrs, but now i require more than 40 hrs to get the meaning to each word,songs,etc. I tell you(those who have seen only its movie) that you have known less than 50% about Lord of the Rings.

This, JRR Tolkien's magnum opus, will take you to a surreal world that cannot just be illustrated with words. This edition containing all three of the series also contains a lot of extra material that could be used for better understanding of the world of The lord of the rings. A must for all those who're into the genre of 'high-fantasy'.

I was so unlucky for the tryst with this book happened 25 years after my birth.
Fascinated by peter jackson's LOTR triology i was hunting for the book for the past 3 years in many book stores. Atlast it came to me via flipkart neatly packed in cardboard case. I bought it 3 months back at a much cheaper rate. Though the price has increased this is the best price i could find at present for this edition.
This edition is well bound, strong and could withstand wear and tear.
Regarding the book, this is the best novel i ve ever read. HP fans who boast it must read LOTR and judge. Such an excellent imagination of a whole new world, races and beasts have never been printed. It is not a children's fantasy novel, even an octogenarian 'd be fascinated by it. Its no surprise that this book is the 2nd largest seller so far after dicken's 'tale of two cities'.. refer wiki..

i ordered it from flipkart long time ago and recieved it within an day or two i don't remember. The first time i laid my hands on it i felt magic stir within me
this is a sort of book no not a book but a legacy left by tolkien which can make u feel small and large all at the same time.
this is a book for everybody and everybody should read at least once . the wars, the travells , and the deaths will feel real so real that u may even just cry. once u finish this one read the other works by tolkien on middle like silmarion, the hobbit, and all . the will bring u back to middle earth and u wont have to say good bye to friends there. By the way LOTR has only been outsold by the Bible and i thin Agatha Christie

First of all, I would like to thank Flipkart for such a good discount and fast delivery as I got the book in 48 hours. I will be ordering more books and products from now.

'Is the book worth the prize?' is the question that always pops up in the flipkart user's mind. No, 'the prize is worth the book'.

I am a 14 year old teenager. My uncle had given me Rs.500 to get myself some clothes. I decided to spend it on this heavy red book of which my friends were praising and talking about.

I am glad of this decision that I took. I finished the book in half a year but I actually want the book to be bigger now given the fact that I had to bade goodbye to all the awesome characters of this book. :(

If you want to become more familiar with this book, I'd suggest you to buy 'The Hobbit', a prelude to 'Lord of The Rings'.

This book talks about the long exile from Hobbiton Shire to Mordor and about a Dark Lord who died leaving a ring with his spirit forces in 'The One Ring' which causes a lot of trouble to the Middle Earth.

Bilbo Baggins' nephew, Frodo Baggins is persuaded by a wizard, Gandalf, to take the evil, exploiting one ring (which Bilbo brought after his adventure) to Mordor and cast the ring into the Cracks of Doom or Mount Doom.

The Hobbit, Frodo with his faithful servant and also an important character later on, Sam and friends: Pippin and Merry meet many interesting races of the Middle Earth like Elves, Dwarves, The Big Folk, Trolls, Ents, Oliphaunts and also perils like The Nazguls, Orcs and many more.

J.R.R Tolkien, the creator of middle earth has done a fabulous work and brought fantasy to a new, professional level as it grounded in reality and has a history it. The writer's vocabulary is so rich and such diction is hard to possess and inculcate. There are many poems and folk songs in the book which are stunningly written. There is also a map on the Middle Earth which obviously, you should refer to as it tells you about wonderful, magical and also dark places in the middle earth. The writer has also created an elvish language which can be read and writ. The language is so beautiful. How impressive!

There are many people who have kvetched that the book is boring. It is actually not. My advice would be read the book slowly and cherish each and every word and think it up as if someone is narrating a tale to you.

The book is very, very slow-paced in the beginning but very, very fast and action paced in the end. Like any 90s movie or book, its slow at the start but grows climactic a little in every page and reaches at such an interesting height that no writer can achieve.

The book has also helped in refining my thoughts and making me a better person. It tells you that evil is not a manifestation or entity. It's just the absence of good.

This book is such book which has to be at the least, be read once in your life and personally, The Lord of The Rings holds a lofty position in my bookshelf. :)
