One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

    This is really picking up now! This is strange to read as my brother has been OBSESSED with this series for my entire life. I grew up watching the movies to sleep every summer and hearing my brother and his friends speak of smaller characters such as Tom Bombadil that weren’t in the movies. Now reading this and noticing the differences between the movies and meeting these characters is such a fun experience!

    This is definitely going to a be a journey. After an hour of reading I just made it through the prologue and foreword. Seeing how small of a percentage of the book if read after an hour is a little discouraging but I’m up for the challenge!
