So I finished the series, and am so thrilled! The books were great and so well detailed. Tolkien obviously worked very hard on his books. I enjoyed the ending of this final installment and appreciated the overall completion of the characters development.
In these two final parts the fellowship attempts its last hurrah on the battlefield, almost separates completely, and treks through the land of Mordor. (Which I believe most people already know!) I really liked the last book, because it sums up what happens during the long journey, and really invokes your imagination. You really learn to love some of the characters, pity others, and loath a few. I was extremely wrapped up in the last book and read till late into the night, which I do not suggest! The ending will keep you enthralled till the last, and you will continue thinking about the whole story long after you finish. Which in my biased opinion is the mark of a truly great piece of literature.
If you have the time and the patience to read this books then I would encourage you to read them. They truly are classic fantasy adventure novels. You might be thinking I could just watch the movies, but where is the fun in that. Plus the endings are not exactly the same...
