Sometimes hard to get into but great books ( )

The mythic trilogy takes place years after Bilbo Baggins great adventure but its origin is that of his magic ring of invisibility. A fellowship is formed in order to perform a task for the good of their world. And the evil will do all it can to stop them from their task. Great detail went into the creation of Middle Earth and this story will grab any teen’s attention and make them wish to read it in its entirety.

Many over the decades have tried to either correlate the story to World War II or as a Christian story. Even though J.R.R. Tolkien was a staunch Roman Catholic that affirmed his faith in the One God who created the universe his mythical God stopped creating before the work was finished, then turned the rest over to a group of lesser gods or "sub-creators." In other words, Tolkien invented a hierarchy of deities that defied the Biblical God's wise warnings concerning both real and imagined idolatry. Of course the Lord of the Rings being a myth, its meaning and story changes with the imagination of each reader and the generation that is reading this series.

I have read that Tolkien, himself, assured us that he didn't intend to teach Biblical reality through his mythical fantasy. Yet still many Christians argue that Tolkien's spiritual hierarchy does indeed parallel the Biblical account. Then in contradiction to his denials, Tolkien has also compared parts of his myth with corresponding aspects of truth. But the obvious similarities tend to confuse rather than clarify Biblical truth.

The best book i ever read. You're begin to read and you can't stop, you want to know what happens to all the persons and how the story ends.

Sin duda, es el libro que más veces he vuelto a leer ( )

Dit blijft een van de meest gelezen boeken in mijn kast. Zodra de herfststormen zich aandienen, grijp ik naar dit boek en nestel me op de bank om weer mee te leven met de avonturen van Frodo en zijn reisgenoten. ( )
