Pablo reviewed The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, #1)
Magical world!
4 stars
What a journey! Loved the book almost in its entirety. I really enjoyed the deep and meticulous world building that Tolkien is known for. The detailed descriptions of the land, the nature and the terror that followed the fellowship. All of those little details came together to paint a beautiful picture in my head of all the different locations Frodo and his companions set foot on.
My only gripe with the book has to be the council of Elrond. It was tough reading through the pages and having no clue what was going on. I know the author intended this, but at this point in the book I was losing interest quickly. Thankfully, I kept on reading because the rest of the book is absolute gold!
