The Lord of the Rings

This review is reposted from elsewhere and primarily about ROTK:

I deeply enjoyed reading the first two LOTR books, after an encounter in my youth that put me off of them. Yet, for whatever reason, ROTK stands alone. I inhaled this book. I basically didn't put it down once I'd picked it up. Did I spend my holiday Monday off of work, drinking wine, following my cat around my apartment, reading it to her out loud, and in character? None will ever know for sure.

A lot of folks apparently didn't like The Rings of Power show. I really enjoyed it, and I'm grateful to it and to the House of R podcast for getting me to try reading these books again. What a delight!
