Title: One of the best books of all time!
Review: This book was what started the whole thing. The entire fantasy genre owes its roots to Tolkein. Without him, we wouldn't have silly but brave Hobbits, beautiful and wondrous Elves, stalwart dwarves or daughty and prideful Dunedain. Tolkein was the first (and probably the best) writer to fully create a fantasy world that draws you in with its detail, astounds you with the vividness of its characters, and surprise you with the fulness of its history. If you love fantasy, but haven't read this book, then you are definitely missing a classic. Tolkein is one of a very few fantasy authors whose work can be honestly called "literature".
