These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. As anyone who a Now, it’s certainly true that many people have been fascinated with studying it, but that’s equally true of many thought exercises, such as the rules and background of the Pokemon card game, or crossword puzzles. There have been many books that I have cherished through the years, and I expect there will be many more to come. This is to me not only the main pillar on which the fantasy genre stands, but the ultimate masterpiece of literature.

Many twelve-year-olds would find the language in LOTR difficult if not impossible to parse, let alone one who hadn’t read a book in English in almost two years. This one ring, that can destroy friendships in the most treacherous way, arouses insatiable desire and is always on the lookout for a new owner.It´s just normal that everyone is struggling with the whispering of the dark side with all its attractive options and the real life implications of this are, well, terrible, frustrating, and daunting. This book is definitely the one single object that’s had the most impact on me, and it’s meant a lot more to me than one should think any object could be capable of.

The worst part is that the shrinks started taking any and all diversions away from me, along with my books. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Only after that gandalf goes on his „misson“ to find out if that ring is the one ring, but before he shouldnt know, right ? Now the reader can enjoy so many different settings, cultures, traditions, and even a bit of political power balance, that it feels kind of relaxing to switch to Sam and Frodo from time to time for some good, old fight for survival without complicated following the big picture actions.To give just a few obvious examples, you see how "hobbit" is a debased form of the word holbytla ("hole-dweller") in the Old Norse-like language of Rohan, how the "mor" in "Moria" is the same as the one in "Mordor" and "morgul", and how Arwen Undómiel's name expresses her unearthly beauty partly through the element it shares with her ancestor Lúthien Tinúviel.

You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to. I love it because of its place in my personal mythology, its genuine originality, its creativity, its power, but I love it with my mind open to its flaws, and I refuse to make excuses for Tolkien or his work.

I wrote quite a lot about Tolkien's sensibility to nature in my previous LOTR reviews (see below), but I wanted to reiterate that in these books, nature itself is a character in the saga. After everything has been established in the first part, the whole scenery can lift off, get far darker and hopeless, introduce new friends, foes, and people not sure which to choose, and in general create the outline for the genre itself.

I have read LotR many times over the years, in fact it is I think the book I have read the most in this world, which i suppose makes it my favourite book, albeit closely followed by half a dozen others (shout if you want to know or take a gander at my favourites shelf). I remember in particular struggling with the word ere, and it felt like it was pretty much on every page, and constantly forgetting its meaning. And I must criticize the elements of The Lord of the Rings that make me uncomfortable and deserve no praise. The Atlas of Middle-Earth has been my favorite supplemental work for longer than some of you have been alive! I had a lot of fun reading LoTR, and I've not yet deleted it from my Ereader because I'm tempted to reread it soon.The Ring confers great power, but the only way to defeat Sauron is to refuse that power, and destroy it, even at great personal cost. Of course, his inspiration came from the millennia of storytelling that formed the works he took for his reinterpretations, so any aspiring fantasy author could see her/himself as an ancestor of a tradition to not just pass the stories themselves. There was a flurry of Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns I backed several years ago promising payments rings but they never delivered so it’s good to see British technology startup McLEAR have delivered the tech. His ideas weren’t unique, and while his approach may have been unusual, it was only because he spent a lifetime obsessively trying to make something artificial seem more natural, despite the fact that the point of fantasy (and fiction in general) is to explore the artificial, the human side of the equation, to look at the world through the biased lens of our eye and to represent some odd facet of the human condition.
