The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I read this trilogy the first time when I was 12 and have loved it ever since. It is on my "only ten books allowed on the desert island" list. Frodo and his friends discover they have a magic ring, the magic ring. To save the world they must take the ring into the enemy's territory and destroy it in the fires in which it was made. A magical story of elves, wizards, ents, hobbits and men facing evil creatures of all sorts. The ultimate story of good vs evil, self-sacrifice, and heroism in the face of certain death. The books are 100 times better than the movies. Classic fantasy!

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
