Title: The granddaddy of fantasy literature
Review: Besides reinventing the entire fantasy genre and influencing generations of writers, Tolkien's tale tells one helluva story. The hobbit Frodo Baggins inherits a magical ring from his uncle Bilbo who found it in "The Hobbit". The ring grants the wearer invisibility, but it's also the Dark Lord Sauron's ring, the One Ring which binds all other magic rings and holds the heart of Sauron's power. Corrupting the wearer, it must be destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom lest it be rediscovered by it's creator and used to conquer all of Middle-earth. Frodo-along with his trusty hobbit friends, the wizard Gandalf and a company of elves, dwarves and men from across the land, sets out on a quest to destroy the ring. Can he alone bear the burden of an all powerfull, all corrupting ring? And what parts will the heir to the throne, Aragorn; the spirits of the dead; and the twisted former ring-bearer, Gollum play in the conflict with Sauron?
