The Fellowship of The Ring ( The Lord of The Rings, #1) by J.R.R. Tolkien (1954)

My Rating: 5/5
I've been a fan of anything related to Hobbit since I have finished reading its introductory passage falls on the same title as well. I deliberately kept all those eerie and wonderful and unforgettable experience I've had while I was fearlessly taking those fagged quests altogether with these extraordinary characters. The fictitious character of Hobbits are my favorite in the series which is why I constantly dreaming of becoming part of the Harfoots family, one of their breeds. This colony are pretty cool and loved digging earth, gardening, singing songs, reading books, making tunnels for shelter, and so do I. I challenge myself to build my own property when I graduated - a tunnel where only matters is tranquility in the surroundings. Seriously, they're the most fabulous creature wield by magnificent King of fantasy genre, J.R.R. Tolkien, and I don't want them get molested by belligerency of dark Lord curled himself in diabolical fortress.

It all started when Bilbo ventured through the most perilous undertaking with dwarve's seething vengeance to their usurper, under the surveillance of Gandalf's most trusted wisdom. Until such deceitful power of One Ring had caught the eyes of weary burglar as his own reward, but left Gollum looney on the other side of the cave, beclouded on Bilbo's cunning riddles. Bilbo had successfully brought it back to safe haven of the Shire without profound understanding whatever amount of adversity the Ring could have bestowed. The Ring had its dreary past quite contrary to its beauty glittered perfectly as if looking for its new proprietor or perhaps a victim to carry upon its burden which Gandalf had already foreseen dark things would trigger the whole land into overwhelming catastrophe if it wasn't completely destroyed.

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

At any rate, conundrums are basically part of the process of learning here on top of the twisted world, but, of course, doing it all alone fighting for goods would be monotonous ride for the fact is, I believe, that No man is an island - I liked this anecdote and I customarily applied it in personal life. I liked the concept on how Tolkien pointed out that confidence towards others is one key to success. Even college is most grueling journey without peers to work with. Our dearest of friends are perfect ones to cling on in times of trouble.

Despite of wicked things Frodo, the Ring successor, and the other 8 fellows from different races have been through, it would definitely usher oneself in most incredible geographic area of Middle-earth. The outlandish part of Middle-earth will quiver one's knees because the ambiance seemed strange, especially when Shadow conspicuously grew darker and menacing, but someone dwells in the corner and willing to offer some helps whose amiable and peculiar personality are quite irresistible. I loved the elves in Rivendell and those who dwelt in Lothlorien. Elves are adroit artists, no doubt. The fellowship of the Ring had been aided of assorted things suited for their travel to Gondor, e.g. cloaks, boats, bows, belts and memorable gifts to treasure about and all of it were graciously veiled by the power of Galadriel with imminent care. Everything in it is truly bewitching yet everybody felt secure. I love Galadriel - her silver hair, her charming smile, her benign feature and her own ring glittered upon the silky finger.

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord doomed to die
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

J.R.R. Tolkien has unique & mystifying voice written in words that upon listening you'd be literally plunged into cavernous space of fantasy. So big, so surreal, so fascinating. There were often times I heard Gandalf & Aragorn mumbled plans of taking risk, Sam & Frodo's close knitted friendships, Merry & Pippin's gaily songs, Legolas & Gimli's disputed affairs from the past, & Boromir's horn tunelessly reverberated inside my head. Many to mentions why I personally recommended this book to all and I'll come back for remaining two books. For now, 5/5.
