This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien


I am so glad that I read this series, even if it was after watching the movies. They are worth reading. The movies did a good job, but there are still huge parts that are left out. And characters that are changed, especially Faramir. I liked his character in the book so much better. Also Eowyn, she is so much more complex and twisted in the books.

This book is especially different because the ending has so much more to it than the movies. If anything people should read the last few chapters because they are not even hinted towards in the movies. It gives more depth to the war, and the reach and power of Saruman. It also shows the strength of the Hobbits despite their size.
