The awesome conclusion to The Lord of the Rings—the greatest fantasy epic of all time—which began in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read While the evil might of the Dark Lord Sauron swarms out to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggle deep into Mordor, seat of Sauron’s power. To defeat the Dark Lord, the One Ring, ruler of the accursed Rings of Power, must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But the way is impossibly hard, and Frodo is weakening. Weighed down by the compulsion of the Ring, he begins finally to despair.

"Book. I love the movie, but the book was always my favorite of the trilogy."

"I actually read this book in middle school. But from what I remember it was an amazing book! The characters are all super interesting and the story only gets better as you read! Fun fact: this book is actually banned in some places! "

"Right now I'm reading Summer Knight by Jim Butcher, Redemption by Karen Kingsbury and Well Met by Jen DeLuca. So far I am enjoying them all. "

"Well I’ve read Wendy Webb’s recently and enjoyed them. Particularly The Keeper’s of Metsan Valo. I also enjoy JR Erickson’s books. None of them are similar to Tolkien though, they are “Northern Gothic” but I tend to jump around on genres lol"
