In a world known as Middle Earth, in a region named The Shire, is a little village of hobbits, Hobbiton.
On the day of Bilbo's 111th birthday, he gives a ring to Frodo, his nephew. The ring must be destroyed in Mordor, where it was created, so it doesn't get back into its owner and creator's hands, the evil Sauron.
Here is where the adventures begin!
My mother can't understand why I love this trilogy so much, because she absolutely hates it and can't stand it. I loved every single bit of it, the magic, the creatures, the fantasy, the whole world that Tolkien created in these pages.
I love it so much I've done presentations about it at school, talked about it for hours on end with friends… and it definitely is the best book I have ever read! The book is a whole lot better than the film because you can imagine it however you like. Even so, it's the best!
