A pretty, touching book for all ages - if you want you can derive some deep meaning out of it to. Need a motto, or reason to carry on with your life? This might be your answer.

My favorite book as a child, forever close to my heart. There was a time I could recite it for rote on the top of my head. Buy this, and enrich your child's life. Or if you're weird, get it anyways.

If you've come this far, you'll pick up the finale of the series. Same slice of pie as the others.

Sort-of-funny happenings of the sterilized middle class splashed with blatant pop culture references designed to spark interest. Worst of all, it's Canadian. Not recommended.

The one that started it all - Tolkein's most lucid and conclusive statement. Should be read by every child - easily captures the imagination. Well done.

Possibly the most exciting of the trilogy, and one of the better fantasy novels out there.

A precursor to 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' by some millenia, would interest hardcore fans of his well known works. The writing is pretty muddy, and is hardly engaging - it's not surprising to hear this work was released posthumously (largely edited by his son).
