Book Review: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings #1)

What can be said about Tolkien's works by me that hasn't already been echoed by everyone else? They're groundbreaking. Modern fantasy wouldn't exist in the way it does today without it. 

I have actually reviewed The Lord of the Rings as a trilogy before, however I am no longer fond of said review and therefore will be re-reviewing each book separately. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

Book Review: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

I actually really like how my copy of this book tells a story. I bought it secondhand at the bookstore and despite it clearly having clearly belonged to someone else before, it was nearly entirely pristine. One can only assume the previous owner picked it up, tried to read it, and then put it down. That's the experience I've heard a lot of people have about The Silmarillion, some of them even huge Lord of the Rings fans.

This honestly made me kind of dread reading this, but I still really wanted to due to me being a big Tolkien fan. So I finally sat myself down and had a look. Let's see how it went.
