content: The Fellowship the Ring is the first part of J.R.R Tolkiens epic fantasy trilogy about a hobbit named Frodo Baggins; heir of Bilbo Baggins, hero of the hobbit. In the Hobbit Bilbo finds a magical ring that he takes home with him. Then around fifty years later he gives the ring to his heir Frodo. After sometime he finds out it is the ring that Sauron the evil character of the book wants. If Sauron gets the ring he can rule middle earth how ever he likes. So Frodo must take it to the one place it can be destoyed. But that place is in the center of Sauron's kingdom. So Frodo and a few friends set out on an epic journey to Sauron's kingdom. I would definenetly recommend that you read the Hobbit before you read this book. If you don't you might have trouble understanding the plot of the book, plus the Hobbit is another great Tolkien novel. This book is one of the best I've ever read , and I would recommend it to anyone interested.
