I hadn't read this since high school and I picked it up again about a month ago. Just an incredible series, it's the best escape I could imagine. If you haven't read it yet, do so immediately, you'll find yourself longing for the simpler life of Middle-Earth.

I read the Tolkien Trilogy every year ever since I was in 6th grade. The Return of the King is an outstanding book, and it concludes Tolkien's Trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings, and it does it well. It concludes the adventures of a ranger fromthe north who's true identity is the heir of kings, and a hobbit's courage and trials. But the only way to understand this wonderful book is you need to read the first two books, which I'm sure everyone would. Although this is a great novel, you need patients to read it. And Tolkien has an outstanding use of words, for he uses old English text. This book is great for teens, but I warn parents that the book might have your kids reading all day long, that has happened to me before. Also, it's a great book for adults, i think. It shows the meaning of freindship, love, and obsession in some sense. And it also shows the meaning of ucatastrophe, which is a sudden turn of events from bad to good, the oppisite from the word catastophe. Tolkien came up with the word ucatastrophe, to explaine the end of the book. He also uses it as in the story of Christ. This is a great novel and I incourage anyone and everyone to read this great book.

We return to Middle- Earth in Return of the King, the last book in The Lord of The Rings trilogy. With the Fellowship already broken and parted, Frodo and Sam struggle deep in the heart of Mordor to the fires of Mount Doom. Sam begins to lose heart as Frodo falls deeper and deeper into the power of the One Ring. Aragorn comes to fully understand that as Isildur's air, he must take up the throne in Gondor. All throughout this journey, Sauron, the enemy of the people of Middle- Earth, feels his need for the One Ring growing. He will do anything to get it back, even kill the Ring- bearer.
J.R.R Tolkien has created a masterpiece! You can feel the emotion and action of every event in this thriller. If you've read The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, I strongly advise you tie up the trilogy with this incredible journey. This book is very inspiring.

Sure, we have all seen the movie, and have been impacted deeply by it (I sure was). The book is also this way, only more broad and fleshed out. The part I hated the most was the end, for I knew I had to leave Middle-Earth. Though I was leaving it, I knew one thing: I would never forget it or what the characters symbolized. Well done, Tolkien. Well done. And thank you.
