Negative Positive
Title: A pioneering fantasy novel
Review: I just finished re-reading "Fellowship" and like always, it's a nostalgic journey back in time. This is the first fantasy story I can remember reading, way back in 1973 when I was in fifth grade, and even though I know now the story inside out, I never am tired of this book.For some reason, I find it more magical than books 2 and 3, probably because there is still a sense of innocence and youth about the main characters, and we still do not realize the full horrid power of Sauron. I enjoy the many songs and stories written, the more so because it is seldom done anymore because it would sound phony or contrived by other authors. To be short: This series built the fantsasy genre as we know it today. The majority of authors out there have,conciously or not, put aspects of this tale in their books. That, I believe, is about the greatest testament to the power of this trilogy. It's wonderful
