The Fellowship of the Ring


Tolkien, JRR. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. NY: Random House, 1955. 479 pages. (Fantasy Series / Poem Review)

Sauron is searching
The One Ring’s power is needed
With his eye, he sees.
Now Frodo must seek
With his many companions
He will destroy it.

Black Riders hunt them
Sense the Ring’s power, they do
Nothingness is they.
They face much evil
They conquer vast enemies
Though lose their wise guide.

The Fellowship breaks
And Frodo must find a way
To the great Mount Doom.

This is a book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a lot of detail (and maybe a bit of an attention span) because the book kind of drags on about the geography and history of Middle Earth. If you enjoyed The Fellowship of the Ring then it’d be fun to read the Two Towers and The Return of the King. But that’s not all! The history of Middle Earth is revealed in the Silmarillion if you care that much!
