How is the Rebel Angels trilogy by Libba Bray?
Would you recommend them, and why?
On a scale from 1-10 what would you give it?
Are they romantic books?
Some good answers would be helpful. Thanks! :)How is the Rebel Angels trilogy by Libba Bray?
On a scale of one to ten, they're definently an 8 or nine. In truth, they're a little bit of everything: romance, suspense, thriller, fantasy, comedy (in places).
They're really good, but they're really long. They move fast though, and they're defiently page turners, so you won't even notice that you read 200-300 pages.

Is The Host by Stephanie Meyer going to be a trilogy?
I heard that it was possibly going to be the host, the soul, and the seeker. But has anyone heard anything new about the host becoming or not becoming a trilogy?Is The Host by Stephanie Meyer going to be a trilogy?
Stephenie Meyer has said that The Host is supposed to be a trilogy. She's also said that she has the next book outlined and just has to write it. The titles of the nest two books have not been announced though. However, she isn't working on the right now. She said in an interview last week that she thinks she's going to write something on mermaids.Is The Host by Stephanie Meyer going to be a trilogy?
I hope not. Stephanie Meyer should stick with single books. Twilight is a wonderful book but the rest are just a bit coo-coo, she gets crazy after about the first one. The Host should stay ONE BOOK!trojan

What happened to the third book of dean koonts latest trilogy?
the first one was frankenstien i think, then prodigal son, but have been waiting a couple of tears for the third ,any ideas?What happened to the third book of dean koonts latest trilogy?
Complete list of his work on site ';fantastic fiction';What happened to the third book of dean koonts latest trilogy?
The Frankenstein Trilogy? The third installment (after Prodigal Son and City of NIght) was due last November, but the latest I heard, is it has been put back to 2009. Not sure if it's a problem with edits, or if he just hasn't been bothered with it (that happened with another trilogy he was supposed to have produced - wrote 2, then lost interest).
Shame, really, because the Frankenstein %26amp; Chris Snow novels are probably some of the best fiction he's produced.
I personally wrote to Mr. Koontz a while ago and asked him about this book. I love this series. I got a very nice letter back. Yes, it is true that he was afraid about Hurricane Katrina. He said he didn't think it was right to ';unleash Victor Frankenstein on New Orleans so soon.'; Also, he said that he is just not a writer to write with a partner. The first two were written with partners and he was going to wait until he felt he had the time to devote to the third one by himself. As he told me, Summer 2008 is the planned date.
If you join his mailing list, you get a lot of good updates. He is currently working on Odd Hours - the latest in the Odd Thomas series.

I'm having a hard time choosing what game i want to buy, either wii sports resort because it comes with wii motion plus or reserve metroid prime trilogy because it comes with a shirt, a poster, and an artbook. They both sound good I'm just not sure which game I want to buy. I need help!Should I buy Wii Sports Resort when it comes out or reserve and buy Metroid Prime Trilogy?

Well, if you played any or all of the 3 games of the set, you won't find too much more in the Metroid Prime Trilogy. I myself am tempted to buy this just because I have not yet tried MP3: Corruption.
Personally, I am waiting (im)patiently for Wii Sports Resort mainly because I want to see how good the Wii motion plus controller really works. But, also because I love a good multiplayer game. I just wish that boxing was included in this set of games.
So in the long run, do you prefer a good multiplayer game with a decent amount of variety or a collection of good FPS games. It's a tough call, but I vote for Wii Sports Resort right now.
It depends on how bad you want wii motion plus. I think you should go with the metroid pre order because it seems like your more into it and the stuff that comes with it. I have read mixed reviews on wii sports resort basically if you plan on playing with friends all the time buy that or your planning more solo gaming don't buy wii sports resort. I plan on picking up wii sports resort either tomorrow or monday but not expecting anything ground break and might only hold my interest for a week. I bought the tiger woods bundle so when I buy wsr bundle I will have two motion plus attachments and two games to play so thats my logic.
To sum it up if you want a party game for friends buy wii sports resort if you want a good solo game get the metroid trilogy.
Good luck
Wii Sports Resort will be exactly like the original version but with beach games.So,I would recommend you get Metroid:Prime Thrilogy.

Would you recommend reading the lord of the rings trilogy without having read The Hobbit?
Would I be able to understand the lord of the rings if I haven't read The Hobbit? Would you recommend reading The Hobbit first even if I could understand the rest without it?Would you recommend reading the lord of the rings trilogy without having read The Hobbit?
yes it completly stands alone from There and Back again(the hobbit)Would you recommend reading the lord of the rings trilogy without having read The Hobbit?
You would be able to understand it but, I suggest reading the hobbit first. It gives you a feel for and some history of the characters that show up in the lord of the rings.
You would be able to understand the trilogy however, The Hobbit is actually my favorite book in the series so I would definitely recommend it. (But to be honest with you I am not one of the true trilogy fans who dresses up as a character and has taught myself the elvin language%26gt;)
You can read them without reading the hobbit just fine. But, the Hobbit is a great book in its own right. I'd suggest reading it as well.
I read the Hobbit first. I think you may enjoy the Hobbit more in the long run, if you read it first. Once you get into the trilogy, the story is so grand, that the Hobbit won't seem like such a great story in comparison. It is really good and introduces you to Bilbo, preparing the stage for the trilogy.
I envy you for being about to read this for the first time! What wonderful stories!
You can toatally read any of Tolkien's works by themselves, but you understand tham a lot better if you read them all. If there were to be one book that you should read before reading Lord of the Rings, it would be the Silmarillion, you can understand Lord of the Rings without reading it, but it gives the background for all of the events and gives you a better idea of why cherecters do what they do and why things work a certain way. Plus the Silmariallion is just a great book! It's really hard to start but once you get into it, it's way better then Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, however, is more of a supplementary story in the whole scheme of things. You could just read a 1 paragraph summary about it and know more than enough for Lord of the Rings to make sense.
I'd say read The Hobbit first.
No, read the hobbit first. I personally think it is the best of the 4 books,, the most fun to read,, and was written first. It should be read first,, you will appreciate the trillogy more if you do, plus it's a fun read. The characters are introduced, and the situation set up,, as well as back ground info on all the races. ok.
Well, I think you can read LOTR without reading Hobbit, as I did,
but it would be easier to understand if you read ';Hobbit'; first. And I think I would have enjoyed LOTR more if I had done the background reading ( Hobbit) first.
I mean, lets go in chronological order guys! ';Hobbit'; tells Bilbo's adventures, and LOTR tells about his nephew's journey to Mordor to destroy the ring that Bilbo had stolen from Gollum in ';hobbit';.
NOTE : I am not sure which I like better of the 2- Hobbit or LOTR? Lotr goes on and on into its hundred subplots, Too much is happening everywhere, and I sort of start pitying Frodo.
You might be able to understand LoTR without reading The Hobbit first, but you won't enjoy it as much. You'll get a lot more in depth into LoTR with what you get from The Hobbit. IMO, The Hobbit is more enjoyable to read than LoTR anyway.
It is possible, as the books allude to what happened in the hobbit anyway so you aren't left wondering.
read the hobbit first
UMMMMM NOOOOO!!! you HAVE to read The Hobbit or else you will be lost!! but i read it before starting the first book and i got a bit lost lol.
I think it's just a matter of perspective. I discovered the books after watching the first two movies. So I watched the movies, read the trilogy, and then read the Hobbit. It doesn't really matter it's just a matter of preference. I enjoyed the Hobbit and probably would have liked the trilogy better had I read it first. And the same thing with the movies. Reading it after watching it you just realize the differences (good and bad) between the two. But I'm glad to have read the books. My personal favorite happens to be The Silmarillion.
you dont have to... i read the triology first and then read the hobbit... i understood both really well, but the hobbit just gave more of an insight into bilbos character... all are really good books, and they can be read independently of each other...trojan

What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
i want to start reading star wars and i'm confused about which book is the first and what order to read them in. please help me out.What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Well I guess the first thing to ask is if you've seen the movies. If you have then you don't really need to read the novelizations of the books except for Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith. This book is almost ';required reading'; if you want to understand all the stuff that is happening that can't be shown in the movie. The novels for ep I %26amp; ep II are fairly decent ... the novels for ep IV, V, %26amp; VI are horrible and for the most part always have been especially the ones for ep IV %26amp; ep VI ... the novel for ep V isn't bad but it is very outdated. So if you've seen the movies you're set ... if you haven't you can read the novelizations but realize that the ones for ep IV - ep VI are very outdated.
Whenever I get asked what books to start with my answer is always the same ... The Thrawn Trilogy. The titles to the books are: ';Heir To The Empire';; ';Dark Force Rising';; %26amp; ';The Last Command';. These books are set 5 years after the events of ep VI and they are way beyond great. The are also what brought Star Wars back from the dead. They are written by Timothy Zahn, he has written other books in the Star Wars EU (Expanded Universe) and there is not a bad one in the bunch. Zahn is the best writer in the Star Wars EU bar none. After that I always give the X-Wing series as what to read after the Thrawn trilogy. The ';major'; characters don't have a very big role in the X-Wing books and we get to meet all kinds of new characters and villians. After you read these books you will know just about everything that you need to know to make the other books ';fit'; in the time line. After that you're on your own, so to speak. The answer given by ';swdarklighter'; is very good although I would disagree with the reason she gave for ep IV being made first but that a ';rant'; for another day ... lol ...
The link given by ';Kaseysface'; is ok but no where near complete.
To ';Diana P';
Couldn't resist picking on you a little bit ... Star Wars came out in 77 not 78 ...
May The Force Be With You ...What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Do you mean the books that correspond to the 6 movies? Start with ';Phantom Menace.'; Then you'll be reading them in chronological order according to the story line.
What happened was, ';Star Wars'; the movie came out in 1978 (around then, anyway). Then came ';The Empire Strikes Back'; and ';Return of the Jedi.'; Those 3 movies are the *original* trilogy.
But they decided to do prequels. So the fourth SW movie made is the FIRST in the STORY. And what was originally called simply ';Star Wars'; became ';Star Wars FOUR: A New Hope.'; The first one made, but the 4th according to the timeline.
I hope that's not too confusing! Anyway, just start with ';Phantom Menace'; and you'll be fine. Enjoy!
EDIT: Looks like Xalia knows the SW books, including those not directly related to the movies. There are many dozens of them.
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
If you are already familiar with the movies, then you probably won't need to read the novelizations of Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (Episodes 4, 5 and 6). These books were written after the movies came out and include everything that was seen on the screen. There are some small tidbits that have been added, but for the most part, they are just the movie.
The novelizations of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (Episodes 1, 2 and 3) contain some additional stuff that wasn't seen in the movies and these were written as companions to the movies as they were released.
(Background - Lucas wrote 9 parts to the Star Wars saga, but didn't start with part 1 largely because he didn't have the technology to make it the way he wanted it and he couldn't get the backing. He was able to get the backing and created a lot of the technology to make Episode 4 - which is the first movie created, but the fourth in the chronology of the series. The movies were released in this order 4 - 5 - 6 - 1 - 2 - 3.)
Now, as far as the books go, there are over 100 books to choose from. This applies to the adult titles - there is a whole separate world of Young Adult and Children's stories as well. If you pick up any of the most recently published titles (Legacy of the Force) and look in the first few pages, you will see a complete timeline for all the books that have been published, starting with 1000 years before the events of Episode 4 up to 40 or so years after.
There are basically two types of books - those featuring the main characters and those featuring new or peripheral characters from the movies.
I will start with the main character series and novels. These continue the story between the movies and after the movies and contain many good books and/or series. Of these books, I recommend the following (listed in order as they appear in the timeline):
Rogue Planet
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
The Han Solo Trilogy - The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (a must read if you are a Han Solo fan)
The Courtship of Princess Leia
Tatooine Ghost
The Thrawn Trilogy - Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (these are among the best books written in the series and should definitely be included)
The Jedi Academy Trilogy - Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force
The Hand of Thrawn Duology - Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future
The New Jedi Order - 17 books in this series. More dramatic than the movies and the events are much more tragic and life-altering to the characters.
These books in large part, fill out and complete the story of the lives of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke, Chewie, the droids and plenty well loved and great new characters.
I haven't really been able to get into the character novels that take place between The Phantom Menace and A New Hope, but you may want to check some of those out as well.
However, I have greatly enjoyed the novels that include new and/or peripheral characters to the movies and recommend that you also include these titles in your reading list:
Path of Destruction: Darth Bane and Rule of Two (a must read if you are interested in Sith mythology/history)
Republic Commando series - Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors (about clone troopers and two young Jedi generals leading them, if you are a Jango Fett/Boba Fett fan, these will probably interest you)
X-Wing series - 9 book series (see inside books for series order) (Wedge rebuilds Rogue Squadron with new characters and take on new missions)
I, Jedi - another of the best books in the Star Wars universe (about the training and apprenticeship of Corran Horn)
Hopefully all this information doesn't scare you off from reading these books. For the most part, the books are very well written and keep you occupied for a very long time.
Also, you don't necessarily need to read all the books in timeline order, however, you should read any books in a series in the series order. You can start with books/series about your favorite characters and fill in with other books or series when you are ready.
Good luck and enjoy.

EDIT: Looks like Xalia knows the SW books, including those not directly related to the movies. There are many dozens of them.
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
If you are already familiar with the movies, then you probably won't need to read the novelizations of Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (Episodes 4, 5 and 6). These books were written after the movies came out and include everything that was seen on the screen. There are some small tidbits that have been added, but for the most part, they are just the movie.
The novelizations of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (Episodes 1, 2 and 3) contain some additional stuff that wasn't seen in the movies and these were written as companions to the movies as they were released.
(Background - Lucas wrote 9 parts to the Star Wars saga, but didn't start with part 1 largely because he didn't have the technology to make it the way he wanted it and he couldn't get the backing. He was able to get the backing and created a lot of the technology to make Episode 4 - which is the first movie created, but the fourth in the chronology of the series. The movies were released in this order 4 - 5 - 6 - 1 - 2 - 3.)
Now, as far as the books go, there are over 100 books to choose from. This applies to the adult titles - there is a whole separate world of Young Adult and Children's stories as well. If you pick up any of the most recently published titles (Legacy of the Force) and look in the first few pages, you will see a complete timeline for all the books that have been published, starting with 1000 years before the events of Episode 4 up to 40 or so years after.
There are basically two types of books - those featuring the main characters and those featuring new or peripheral characters from the movies.
I will start with the main character series and novels. These continue the story between the movies and after the movies and contain many good books and/or series. Of these books, I recommend the following (listed in order as they appear in the timeline):
Rogue Planet
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
The Han Solo Trilogy - The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (a must read if you are a Han Solo fan)
The Courtship of Princess Leia
Tatooine Ghost
The Thrawn Trilogy - Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (these are among the best books written in the series and should definitely be included)
The Jedi Academy Trilogy - Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force
The Hand of Thrawn Duology - Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future
The New Jedi Order - 17 books in this series. More dramatic than the movies and the events are much more tragic and life-altering to the characters.
These books in large part, fill out and complete the story of the lives of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke, Chewie, the droids and plenty well loved and great new characters.
I haven't really been able to get into the character novels that take place between The Phantom Menace and A New Hope, but you may want to check some of those out as well.
However, I have greatly enjoyed the novels that include new and/or peripheral characters to the movies and recommend that you also include these titles in your reading list:
Path of Destruction: Darth Bane and Rule of Two (a must read if you are interested in Sith mythology/history)
Republic Commando series - Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors (about clone troopers and two young Jedi generals leading them, if you are a Jango Fett/Boba Fett fan, these will probably interest you)
X-Wing series - 9 book series (see inside books for series order) (Wedge rebuilds Rogue Squadron with new characters and take on new missions)
I, Jedi - another of the best books in the Star Wars universe (about the training and apprenticeship of Corran Horn)
Hopefully all this information doesn't scare you off from reading these books. For the most part, the books are very well written and keep you occupied for a very long time.
Also, you don't necessarily need to read all the books in timeline order, however, you should read any books in a series in the series order. You can start with books/series about your favorite characters and fill in with other books or series when you are ready.
Good luck and enjoy.
Is the Godfather trilogy based on real life people or events?
I know they're based on the books, but were the books based on any specific mafia family? any of the events in the book based on real events?
Any of the characters based on real people? if so who?
Also, Does anyone know where Mario Puzo got his information on the Mafia... or was it purely fiction?
Thanks, i appreciate your time.Is the Godfather trilogy based on real life people or events?
There's only one book on which the films are based. The other two are screenplays written by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo together. After Puzo died, his daughter commissioned author Mark Winegardner to write two sequels, but they have not been made into films.
http://markwinegardner.com/godfather/
The Corleones are based on a couple of the real-life ';Five Families'; of the New York mob, but mainly on the Genovese family. When the book came out, most people thought that Johnny Fontaine was Frank Sinatra, but Vic Damone's name also came up, and in the book, Vito asks Johnny, ';Whatever happened to you and that kid who was so funny in the movies?'; That would imply Dean Martin.
I highly recommend the novel ';The Godfather'; by Mario Puzo.Is the Godfather trilogy based on real life people or events?
My understanding, based on Puzo interviews I read when the book came out and was a hit, was that the main characters were entirely fictional, something of an amalgam of real 'famiglia' people Puzo had known or known of. Several of the lesser characters were based on real people, but fictionalized enough that they could not sue for defamation. Johnny Fontaine (? on the last name) was based on Frank Sinatra, for instance.

Ya, there's a little bit of romance between Gemma and the English gentleman, Simon Middleton, and her Indian ';protector'; who is of the Rakshana, Kartik.Is there any romance in the Gemma Doyle trilogy?

What do you think of Eoin Colfer righting the seventh book in the Hitchhiker's ';trilogy';?
I read the Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl, would be continuing the late Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker trilogy. What do you think of this?
I personally don't think anyone could compare to Doug, but of course I'll buy the book just because I loved the originals.What do you think of Eoin Colfer righting the seventh book in the Hitchhiker's ';trilogy';?
I think that Eoin was the talent to do it. I have met the man and listened to him talk on his family for an hour. It was hilarious.What do you think of Eoin Colfer righting the seventh book in the Hitchhiker's ';trilogy';?
well i've never read the book, but i think the author might have a problem counting, 'cause last time i checked a trilogy is only 3 books.
I have never read any of the books, however I will say I think the seventh book is my favorite
In my opinion, nothing will top the original three. They are great books. Very funny. So long and thanks for all the fish......

Is the circle trilogy by ted dekker really good?
Can someone whose read the black red and white books by ted dekker, summarize what each one is about? I'm not sure if i want to start reading them, because i hear there is alot more books that follow.
Im a twilight fan and finished those books within a week. are these books just as addicting?Is the circle trilogy by ted dekker really good?
Summarize? Ted Dekker? Yeah, sure. His books are so cram packed with anything and everything that to give you a summary would be...impossible. Wikipedia does a fair job of summarizing/overviewing...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_Tril鈥?/a> But, I would definitely read the books. I have read all three of them as well as a number of other Dekker books (personal favorites: Thr3e and Blink).
But, you have to realize (this is my personal opinion here) that The Circle Trilogy goes beyond skimming the surface. The three books(soon to be four--yeah, not a trilogy) look into the soul of men--sin, redemption, etc. The Twilight books (which I have read--in about a week like you) don't delve into the depth of life. They see the surface of love, but very little else. Yes, it is a strange and passionate love, but there is very little in them that I find comparable to the Circle books.
That being said...I still think you should give them a try. They weave an interesting story that can be, at times, hard to follow. But, it is the type of story that drags you along until you pick up the path where it left off 20 pages earlier. It drags you along because you can't put it down without finding out what exactly is going on...why things are happening the way they are...and what exactly is happening. A lot of Dekker's stories are a bit mind-blowing...but in a good way.
Either way you choose...happy reading.trojan

Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?
I'm suppose to read 3 books and write a summary about each of them and I hated the books recommended for me on the list, so I chose the Uglies Trilogy. Are the books like childish or something?Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?
The Uglies Trilogy is perfect for your assignment. Uglies is set in the future, yet it still deals with issues that are important to preteens, teens, and young adults. These issues range from over-use of oil, appearance, and trying to be yourself in a world that wants you be something else.
I defiantly recommend that you read the fourth book, Extras. It is set a few years after the other books and gives the reader a view of the world after Tally's adventures.Is the Uglies Trilogy appropriate for 8th grade summer reading?
Absolutely. When I was in eighth grade a year ago, we were actually REQUIRED to read the Uglies Trilogy for the cirriculum. It's very appropriate and the stereotypes/struggles in society are relevant to teens today.
It's an amazing book with an amazing story to tell, and it's not boring either. Read it. :)
It actually has 4 books in it. The 4th one invloves some new characters and is called Extras.
No! They're awesome! They're totally appropriate and really good! I'm sure you'll love them.
Hope I helped! :)
---Kat
No, it was written for middle schoolers. It's sci-fi with adventure and a little bit of romance. Read it, it's an awesome book.
The books are very good. Uglies won a Golden Duck Award for excellence in Young Adult Science Fiction.

Am I the only one who thinks that breaking dawn should not be a three part movie and since it is a trilogy?
Seriously I think they should not make into three movies. It not Harry Potter when Harry Potter and deathly hallows has three times amount of content for them to say it does need two films but breaking dawn not so much. Since when it is a trilogy? I am not a hater in fact I love twilight but I am not going to called something that it is not.Am I the only one who thinks that breaking dawn should not be a three part movie and since it is a trilogy?
no, I think it should be one movie too. but I don't see how it's a trilogy... it says book 1, 2, and three, but it's just a different perspective... but I guess it sort of is...Am I the only one who thinks that breaking dawn should not be a three part movie and since it is a trilogy?
This may be a good thing.
They finish one movie, and run out of money for the next two.
:b
But in all honesty, NO it does not. Eregon may be BIGGER, then Breaking Dawn, and they made it into one, fairly decent movie.
I think breaking dawn can fit perfectly into 1 single movie ... :)
I didn't even know that they're trying to make it into a 3 part movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book was longer than Breaking Dawn. The last Harry Potter book needs more than one part

In the Trilogy His Dark Materials in the book the Amber Spyglass?
Are WIll and Lyra ';lovers'; or do they just kiss? and what age are they in that book?In the Trilogy His Dark Materials in the book the Amber Spyglass?
Yes they are lovers even for their young age. I believe Lyra is 14 or 15 years old and i believe Will is 15 or 16. They do kiss. This book was very emotional for me. I was EXTREMELY sad when they had to separate and go back to their individual worlds at the end. I think that they had truer love than most people do today even for their young age. Hoped this helped.In the Trilogy His Dark Materials in the book the Amber Spyglass?
well, in the first book Lyra was, I believe 13, so she was probably 14 or 15. As for Will, I think he was Lyra's age or just a little older. I was asking the same question when reading the part where the two were under a tree in the forest. their daemons were in love as well as Will and Lyra were kissing and such. I believe that they did end up as boyfriend and girlfriend but it has been a little while since i read the book. any way, the trilogy is on my list of favorite books of all time and I hope you enjoyed them to!
You know, I don't think any definite ages are given though I'd assume both were early teens (12-14?). While they do kiss there is some connotation to more activity ';sleeping close all night';, especially in the future.

please comment onlikes and dislikes.
THANKS!Who all likes the first book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?
i've read the whole trilogy and its amazing.
although i think it can be very slow at times.
but the first book give you a lot of history of Middle-Earth and the importance of the Ring.
The Hobbit is an amazing book as well, although its not a part of the trilogy i have to say its my favorite J.R.R. Tolkien book.Who all likes the first book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?

while it was not my favorite in the trillogy (I much preferred two towers as a book) I truly enjoy reading it and do so as often as possible. At least twice a year I'll read through the entire trillogy. In fact, it's just about time to do so again.
Robert: Tom was included to show that not everyone in middle earth was part of middle earth and could therefore be tainted by the power and evil of the ring. He also allowed for the hobbits to forget their troubles with the nine for a short while in his house. I must say that your advice of the book is rather lacking....I would not recommend that they skip so much of the story....remember that bree and weathertop are both between chapter two and the counsil of elrond. Those are incredibly important to understanding the rest of the story after the counsil.
I loved it, though I found the chapter The Council of Elrond very slow... but I was 17 when I read it the first time. It hasn't bothered me in subsequent readings!
OMG I LUV LOTR!!! It's definitely worth reading!! I absolutely love all the books, they are amazing. I have no dislikes, I am a total LOTR fanatic!! I say read it, it's amazing!!
I read the entire series over 12 times. I think it is one of the best books of all time.
Love the ';Fellowship';.
In some ways, the first book (or part) is the most fascinating because it is crucial to establish the ';world-building';, the principal characters, and the conflicts.
Definitely great stuff. In fact I'm reading it right now. I've forgotten how many times I've read it.
I don't really have any criticisms. But I have wondered why Tom Bombadil was even included. He just doesn't seem to fit the story very well. My guess; he was a character that Tolkien had in mind for a long time and he grabbed the chance to put him in somewhere.
For those who are reading it for the first time, I would recommend starting at the end of chapter 1 through chapter 2 and then skip on to ';The Council of Elrond';.

What age group is the Bartimaeus Trilogy meant for?
Is it good for 14 year olds? Also, if you know of any, name me similar books to ones such as the Pendragon Series, Harry Potter, Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr.What age group is the Bartimaeus Trilogy meant for?
Those books would be pretty much perfect for you. . .I also have a list of other young adult books, but some of them might not necessarily appeal to you just based on your list:
Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras, series by Scott Westerfeld -- about a future society, thought-provoking, funny, accessible, relatively short
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak -- narrated by Death, about the Holocaust, but in an intimate and touching way rather than it being distant or like a history lesson, a bit longer read, poetry in every line but still very accessible
The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, series by Frank Beddor -- the true story of Alice and Wonderland, quick read, very original
Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, (and the third one just came out but I don't remember the title) series Melissa Marr -- faeries, again, very original, a clear, beautiful writing style
Crank, Glass, Impulse, Burned, Identical, (Crank and Glass are 1st and 2nd in a series, the rest are all separate) by Ellen Hopkins -- about real life, tough issues (drugs, suicide, abuse) written in verse, which is so cool, poetry, but again completely accessible
City of Bones, City of Ashes, series by Cassandra Clare -- teens hunting demons but in such an original way, great tone, very well-created atmosphere, totally accessible
hope these helped :)What age group is the Bartimaeus Trilogy meant for?
Yeah at 14 you can read it. It gets very interesting book to book and not very challenging.
For similar books you can try The Arthur Series it is a boy who has the namesake of King Arthur and uses his seeing stone as a guide as he matures and ages. He is able to watch Arthur of the past threw it. There are 3 stories so it is a Trilogy, The first one is The Seeing Stone.
Also, there are books I read which are just one book but good The Alchemist, The Iron Ring are just 2.
I just started a series today called House of Night about vampires and stuff. Very interesting. Also, Twilight is good read all of them.
I personally like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so Eragon would be my recommendation. Here is a link about fantasy works that might help your decision:
written for young readers.(14 is fine) other fantasy series... City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Tunnels(can't remember the author), and The Lightning Thief by Percy Jackson. (all of these books are the first in a series)
Yeah you could probably read it!trojan

Has anyone heard of the Inkheart trilogy?
Im just wondering. And if you have, then:
What are your favorite characters?
What is your favorite book?
How many of then books have you read?Has anyone heard of the Inkheart trilogy?
I've read Inkheart and Inkspell.
I really loved Inkheart, I didn't quite get into Inkspell as much. Did you know they are making Inkheart into a movie?
My favourite character(s) : Dustfinger and the author of the book, Fenoglio.
You should post your favorites!Has anyone heard of the Inkheart trilogy?
I've read hte first two....
I like Dustfinger alot.....
personally I can't decide between the first two and I haven't gotten the third yet....
I have not read any but have heard great things. There is always a lot of buzz on this site about them...
i have inkheart but im not that far
I have read both Ink Heart And Ink Spell. I loved all of the characters. I didn't know that there was a 3rd installment.
the inkheart books by cornelia funke?
then i've read ';inkheart'; and ';inkspell.';
i think the first book was way better than the second.
my favorite characters are: mo, dustfinger (those two are so brave),theresa (she's really caring and gentle). and don't forget about capricorn! he may be a villian, but he's really interesting and determined.
I have read the first two books.
My favorite so far is Inkheart
And my favorite characters are Dustfinger and Maggie
no.
I read Inkheart 2 years ago and Inkspell last year some time. The first one was one of my favorite books at the time, the second one was good too, but waiting for the third one made me lose interest and I can't even remember the name of the characters anymore. Now I'm obsessed w/ Twilight. U should read it if u haven't yet!

What is the overall literary theme in the lord of the rings trilogy?
by j.r.r. tolkienWhat is the overall literary theme in the lord of the rings trilogy?
The theme is not good versus evil.
The theme is War and is a much more dominant theme. While there is an obvious evil in the story there are also characters that walk the line between good and evil, as is often seen in real war. Labeling LotR with ';good versus evil'; is a very superficial evaluation. It's not that there are sides (Black vs. White), it's that there is conflict and the conflict grows through the actions of multiple individuals.What is the overall literary theme in the lord of the rings trilogy?
I would say the overall literary theme of LotR is man's struggle against sin (both corporately and individually), especially if you take into account Tolkein's faith and much of the symbolism he incorporates into the book. For instance, considering the fact that the ring represents sin, you can see how this weaves its way through the entire story and the results of giving into the lure of the ring, etc., etc. On a more global scale, the atrocities of war and the destruction of nature for industry.
The never ending battle between the evilness of greed and the goodness of being wholesome.

Why would you not accept the creation theory in the prequel to the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarion.Sry but i'm not sure of the spelling of that. It was soo long ago that I read it. But it does present a beautiful hypothesis of creation. I don't believe for a second that it's true but you'll have to admit it would be nice if it were true.
Tolkien, of course, was a Catholic, and while I think that his books are total rubbish, I understand that he believed them to be a kind of moral allegory, though not as literal as Lewis' Biblical fables.
So in a sense, you're right, in spite of yourself.
Since Archaeologist found the fossils of the Hobbit (Homo Floresienses) on the isle of Flora, it must be true!
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/flo…
Actually...
I own the ';movie prop'; sword of King Aragon.
Quite so. I'll sport it on one of my Avatars next week.
Poor idiot doesn't know that Tolkien was a devout Catholic, a translator of the Jerusalem Bible, one of the chief reasons C S Lewis converted. Poor idiot.
AragoRn
Also known as king Elessar, Strider
Silly pastafarian, it's not a trilogy.
the fires of mt. doom await all who question the will of lord sauron.
I believe the Lord of the Rings is true, truer than the Bible by far.
You are preaching to the choir, thanks for the chuckle.
Now, there is an argument that rings true. (no pun intended)
whatever, all trilogies are the same. ...except the original star wars!
May Gandolf have mercy on their souls...
I am blind.
A battle for middle earth????
I am a Christian, and don't like the Lord of the Rings...
Nice satire. a star for you
good point
watch its making on youtube
ooh! its so fake
I would be embrassed to ask such a aimless and unfocused question.

Don't you find the end of Lord of the Rings trilogy quite sad?
I find it's one of the saddest goodbyes I've ever read. Although the evil is finally gone I can't stand seeing three little people saying goodbye to their best friends for ever. It's so sad!
For those who know: what happens to those who die in Middle Earth? Do they also get to go to the Elven Lands in their afterlife? Thanks!Don't you find the end of Lord of the Rings trilogy quite sad?
Here's a quote from The Silmarillion on Men:
';What may befall their spirits after death the Elves know not. Some say that they too go to the halls of Mandos; but their place of waiting there is not that of the Elves, and Mandos under Illuvatar alone save Manwe knows whither they go after the time of recollection in those silent halls beside the Outer Sea. None have ever come back from the mansions of the dead, save only Beren son of Barahir, whose hand had touched a Silmaril; but he never spoke afterward to mortal Men. The fate of Men after death, maybe, is not in the hands of the Valar, nor was all foretold in the Music of the Ainur.';
Aside from the Elves (of which Cirdan was the last to leave Middle Earth), only Frodo, Samwise and Gimli were the only other creatures to have set sail to the Undying Lands. Sam left Middle Earth after Rosie died. When Aragorn gave up his life, Legolas built himself a ship and it was said (recorded in the Red Book) that he took Gimli with him because of their great friendship and because of Gimli's desire to see Lady Galadriel again.
Like in real life, what happens after death is a mystery. Tolkien's saga revolves around what is ';supposedly'; written down (accounts left by Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry, %26amp; Pippin and others). Even what happened after they've crossed over the seas into the Undying Lands we do not know. As for the sad bit, for me, it's a good-feeling sadness. Tolkien's words were so rich that you really feel you're in Middle Earth experiencing its wonders.Don't you find the end of Lord of the Rings trilogy quite sad?
Yes, very. Read Tolkien's other works especially The Silmarillion (if you haven't already). Lots of Elvish names (which for the life of me I can't remember all =D) but I find it more engrossing than even the LOTR trilogy. Thanks! Report Abuse
Yes. I cried when I read the ending in the book and I cried even harder watching the movie in cinema. That song by Annie Lennox (Into the West) is beatiful. The movies and books are beautiful!!
I don't remember reading about what happens to Middle-Earthlings but I don't think they go to the Land Beyond. Only the Elves (and a few chosen ones) do, but then they don't go there AFTER dying. They go there because it's time to hand Middle-Earth to the human race.
Try this site. Just found it myself:)
http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
I agree! I cry for fove minutes after the end, because the goodbye is so sad. It's all very fulfilling, with everything being done, but the ending is sorrowful in a happy way.
Not sure what happens to everyne else. I imagine that Sam, Merry, Pippin, boromir, farmir, etc. and everyone I like gets to be together in ';Heaven';, which i believe is where the boat is taking them. Such great movies...
I suggest reading the Simillarion if you haven't already. I would guess that they don't go the the Elven Lands, but I can't remember if I've ever read of an after-life specifically for Middle Earthlings.
i haven't seen it yet
Frodo is one of the most tragic characters ever created. He gives up any chance at a happy life to save the world. But its not all sad, because most of the other characters end up happy.
As for others dying, in the Silmarillion I remember something about how death was Eru's (essentially god) gift to men. I assume it applies to dwarves and hobbits as well. Try the story (in the Silmarillion) called Beren and Luthien, about an elf who falls in love with a man and gives up her immortality for him.trojan

Should I start with my trilogy?
I have written a sword%26amp;sorcery trilogy, and am currecntly re-writing and editing it and was wondering if I needed to get other work published first, in order to have a list to show any possible publishers?Should I start with my trilogy?
You don't have to, though it wouldn't hurt to have some published works under your belt--even if it's just a short story. But I don't know if that will make finding an agent significantly easier. If I were you, I would continue tweaking with what I have and finish it instead of stalling.
You can do whatever you want, however you feel is the best way.Should I start with my trilogy?
it's not needed; I can name a few authors who had nothing published before their big series started (Katherine Kurtz, Diana Gabaldon, for example) Granted, they might not have been planning series at the time, but that's how it turned out.
Personally, although I've only submitted a few minor things that weren't published, I would say to go ahead and submit your trilogy. If it's good (and ';meets their current needs';!), it shouldn't matter whether or not you had anything published. Just do your research; I've *heard* that it's good if you can actually address it to the first reader at the publisher.
Best of luck!

Does anyone know when the third book in the Inheritance Trilogy comes out?
you know, the sequal to Eragon and Eldest. I can't wait to read it.Does anyone know when the third book in the Inheritance Trilogy comes out?
Paolini said he's trying to finish the book by spring (2007). So it's going to be a while. It will probably be out in 2008. But my god.. isn't he a fantastic writer? I love his books!!

GI-Joe 14 years nearly in the making. What would you like to see done with the Trilogy they say is planned?
In about 1996 word of this movie first surfaced, with a casting call planned to be the biggest in Hollywood history.
Then the movie dissapeared for nearly a decade before resurfacing about 3 years ago.
Instead of having hundreds of the Joes and Cobras they have downsized the first movie to the formations of both groups and the innitial members.
So, where would you like to see this go? Who would you like to see in the sequels on both sides?GI-Joe 14 years nearly in the making. What would you like to see done with the Trilogy they say is planned?
anything but the crapfest they tend to put out...it looks horrible and the actors they got to fill the roles are so wrong....dennis quaid and the guy that plays snake eyes are perfect
gi joe was something i grew up with and would like to see it resemble the animated series moreGI-Joe 14 years nearly in the making. What would you like to see done with the Trilogy they say is planned?
They should have at least one movie with Serpentor in it. He was a pretty awesome character.
To be honest it just seems way to corny for me. The action is to way over the top to enjoy it at all.

Has anyone ever read the Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley?
It seems like I'm the only one who has!
If you have, what did you think of the ending?
I read somewhere that the author is thinking about making a fourth book (in a trilogy, weird, I know...) Is she?
And is what is Rochelle's ethnicity? The book never specifies (black hair with skin the color of molten gold...) I want to get a better mental picture of her.
If you've read this great series, reply!
And if you haven't, read it!Has anyone ever read the Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley?
Ah! Someone else who has read the book!
My favorite one was The Key. Except for the last..oh...5 pages!
That was a horrible ending and wasn't wrapped up at all.
I'm not normally for books being made into movies, but I think this would be a good one.
Rochelle!.....
*spoilers*
I can't believe it! I thought the author was going to let her live, and then...wow. She was one of my favorite characters (next to Arkarian, of course :) ).
But wow...
And I read that same thing, about the fourth book. I don't know if she's going to write it though.

Should I read books such as the Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy?
Have anyone read the Hobbit or The Lord of The Rings before? Were the books interesting? Should I read them?Should I read books such as the Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy?
Part of my answer to you would be back to you in questions.
How old are you? Or more accurately, how old is your successful reading level? The books take some ';getting used to';. My second question is, '; Are you interested in using your imagination as you read?'; They require you to imagine things that are hard to explain.
I have read The Hobbit, and am working my way through the trilogy. It is not light, fluff reading, but the author probably had influence on C.S. Lewis, and his Narnia series. Have fun, and good reading.Should I read books such as the Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy?
The Hobbit was very interesting, and a lot of fun to read, but it's also told in a very specific style: Tolkien kinda writes the thing as if he's sitting in front of a bunch of people, telling the story. It doesn't read like a usual book and some people I asked found it annoying.
As for the books, they're also very interesting, but also very long. The first time I read the series I actually got bored and skipped halfway through the last book to the end. Then I began watching the movies, and after seeing the first two reread the series and found them to be quite different from the books. The books have a lot more adventure packed into them, little side-stories I guess you could call them since they didn't affect the main plot enough for the movie directors to have to include them, but I think it makes the books all the more interesting. Another reason you should read the books is because the portrayal of the hobbits (especially Frodo) is very different in the books than in the movies. In the movies Frodo seems like such a wimp; so do all the hobbits, really, but in the books it's a lot different.
Go ahead and read all the books! Just keep in mind that for the LOTR series you're going to need a lot of time if you want to read them right after another.
The Hobbit is one of my very favourite books, and I really liked the Lord of the Rings while I was reading it (I got side-tracked).
They're basically the same story, but The Hobbit is more like the kid-version and The Lord of the Rings is the more complex adult-version. I mean, they're different story-lines, but the premise is kinda the same.
Yes but you need to devote time as they are quite long stories. It is tough going, he namedrops about a load of hobbits you've never heard or, imaginary place names etc. It can take a while to get to grips but yes the books are a lot better than the films.
Definitely if you are interested in the whole fantasy genre. Tolkien has brilliantly created a world that a normal person today could fall into. Sometimes, it can be slow, but Tolkien uses so much imagery that you feel as if you are there yourself.
there pretty good. my advice, see the movies, and then read the books, just as to get you through the boring parts. because, the books are action packed with fighting, then have about a chapter of travel.
Yes, I think anyone who is interested in fantasy should read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. They're very interesting.
Yes, definitely! They're amazing books.
Yes, for sure they're awesome books. Though there are some parts that you could get side tracked in Don't read all four of them.
The Hobbit was good, I haven't read any of the Lord of the Rings books. I'd say go ahead and read them all.

What is the name of the script written on the ring of LOTR trilogy?
not tengwar, sindarin or quenya. specifically the one that was written on the ring.What is the name of the script written on the ring of LOTR trilogy?
It's called Old Elvish, according to what Gandalf tells Frodo in ';Fellowship of the Ring';What is the name of the script written on the ring of LOTR trilogy?
The inscription of the One Ring was written entirely in the ';Black Speech'; of Mordor. Sauron created the Black Speech, as an artificial language, to be the sole language of all the servants of Mordor, replacing the many different varieties of Orkish and other languages used by his servants.
The only example given of ';pure'; Black Speech is the inscription upon the One Ring:
Ash nazg durbatul没k, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatul没k, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
When translated into English, these words form the lines:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
For more on this, see the links below;
All I know is that it was Tolkein's version of Elvish. And it said something along the lines of ';one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them; one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.';

How did Stephenie Meyer name her trilogy? All three titles seem pretty unrelated to the plots...?
Also, how did she come up with the pictures on the cover? They look great, but they don't make any sense...How did Stephenie Meyer name her trilogy? All three titles seem pretty unrelated to the plots...?
She already answered this question:
Q: Did you plan on the lunar theme to your book titles?
A: Twilight was an accident. Twilight had several titles that no one could agree on. So my agent and I made a list of words we liked and Twilight was on that list. We called it that for a while with the intention of changing it, but the name stuck. Then New Moon and Eclipse fell right into place and made total sense. Breaking Dawn was harder to name, but I think that is the closest I can come to the felling that I want to imply.
This is how the titles relate:
Q. Why did you pick the title Twilight?
A. Twilight was not the easiest book to title. When I started sending out queries, I called it Forks for lack of a better idea. The first thing my agent advised me was that the title was going to have to change. We played around with a lot of different titles, and nothing seemed to convey the right feel. We brainstormed through emails for about a week. The word twilight was on a list of ';words with atmosphere'; that I sent her. Though these words were meant to be used in combination with something else, the word twilight stood out to both of us. We decided to try it out, and, after a little adjustment time, it started to work for both of us. It isn't absolutely perfect; to be honest, I don't think there is a perfect title for this book (or if there is, I've never heard it).
Q. What does the title refer to? Is it a werewolf reference?
A. Nope. The term ';new moon'; refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.
And here are the answeres for your question on the cover art:

well have you noticed that all of the objects are red i think that has something to do with vampires and at the end of twilight when edward brought bella out of the prom he said something about twilight if you pay atttention carefully they say something that has to do with the name of the book
The answers to your questions are all on her website's FAQ section http://www.stepheniemeyer.com
***SPOILERS!!!***
Twilight: the safest time for vampires, (in her books), and also Edward and Bella are talking about it at the end of Twilight.
New Moon: ';the darkest period of Bella's life...'; is what SM says. Because Edward left her.
Eclipse: At the end Bella and Jacob were talking, and Jacob said something about how he can deal with the clouds (when Edward left Bella in New Moon) but not with and eclipse (Edward himself).
The apple cover has something to do with the Bible, SM chose it herself, and it has significance for her. The ruffled tulip on the cover of New Moon has nothing whatsoever to do with the story. I think the ribbon on Eclipse is Edward's Bella and Jacob's Bella breaking apart (you need to read it to see what I mean)
I don't really know, but here's a site you can look at:
http://www.bordersmedia.com/shows/bookcl鈥?/a>
It had a bunch of stuff on her books, and an interview with her, etc.
I think she thinks of a title that relates in a small way to the book and adds it as an element. Edward and Bella joke about twilight once or twice in twilight. A New Moon is mentioned in book two, and a relation between a new moon and another element is introducted. I haven't read Eclipse, so I'm not much help there.
I'm wondering myself about the cover art, also. The hands are really pale in Twilight, which is a metaphor to Edward. I think the red apple represents purity and blood. Bella is pure and human. It's the same for New Moon and Eclipse, with the black and red.
She already answered this question:
Q: Did you plan on the lunar theme to your book titles?
A: Twilight was an accident. Twilight had several titles that no one could agree on. So my agent and I made a list of words we liked and Twilight was on that list. We called it that for a while with the intention of changing it, but the name stuck. Then New Moon and Eclipse fell right into place and made total sense. Breaking Dawn was harder to name, but I think that is the closest I can come to the felling that I want to imply.
This is how the titles relate:
Q. Why did you pick the title Twilight?
A. Twilight was not the easiest book to title. When I started sending out queries, I called it Forks for lack of a better idea. The first thing my agent advised me was that the title was going to have to change. We played around with a lot of different titles, and nothing seemed to convey the right feel. We brainstormed through emails for about a week. The word twilight was on a list of ';words with atmosphere'; that I sent her. Though these words were meant to be used in combination with something else, the word twilight stood out to both of us. We decided to try it out, and, after a little adjustment time, it started to work for both of us. It isn't absolutely perfect; to be honest, I don't think there is a perfect title for this book (or if there is, I've never heard it).
Q. What does the title refer to? Is it a werewolf reference?
A. Nope. The term ';new moon'; refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.
And here are the answeres for your question on the cover art:
';The apple on the cover of Twilight represents ';forbidden fruit.'; I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase ';the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.'; Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with?

(If you have read the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud) Who is your favourite character and why?
My favourite character is, undoubtedly, Bartimaeus for his wit and those hilarious footnotes!(If you have read the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud) Who is your favourite character and why?

Of course, Bartimaeus! He's a wonderful character and the whole series was worth it just for him.
But if we all agree on him, then the question is ';Who is the NEXT best character?'; I think I would have to go with Nathaniel. He was sympathetic in the first book (despite Summoning B!), then became very UNsympathetic in the second before totally redeeming himself in the third book. That is a well-done, believable character. Kitty was well done too, but the way Nat learned, came to understand what was being done was wrong-- that was wonderful. And Ptolemy was terrific, too, even though we knew him only through Bartimaeus.
Just a magnificent series-- wish Mr. Stroud would do more in that universe somewhere down the road!
Hah ... I'm with you, sister, Bartimaeus is a joker. I liked the footnotes but, as the 1st person said, it does take some time to get used to. It certainly makes the book unique.
Bartimaeus :)
He's just so witty and clever.
He tries to be wicked and bad - which he is sometimes - but really he has a good heart.
:) Hes a rad dog.
I'm with you there- the footnotes take a bit pf getting used to but lift these books out of the ordinary!

Is the Lord of the Rings trilogy easy to read?
Or is it one of those slow, draggy classics that take forever to finish?Is the Lord of the Rings trilogy easy to read?
Slow draggy classics? Is that what you think of classics? That's really a shame. Not all literature is quick to read and instantly gratifying. People are too used to watching movies and being instantly gratified with lots of pictures and a fast moving plot.
I love Lord of the Rings and don't find it boring at all. It is however, long, and quite detailed in the descriptions. If that is something you find boring you might not like the books.
They are books that take their time, but the reader gets a much fuller picture of the world and characters than in some other novels which move the story along faster.
When I finished reading Lord of the Rings I felt as if I'd been there along with the characters. I felt like I knew them, and I knew the world they lived in. Lord of the Rings is a journey that takes a bit of time and concentration, but it's definitely worth it.Is the Lord of the Rings trilogy easy to read?
';It's very slow and draggy and long winded. I read some of it and he spent like two pages just describing gandalf. The movies are excellent and apparently follow the books very closely, but i would have to say that while it is a classic, i believe they are highly overrated.';
The Lord of the Rings are easily the best books I've ever read (opinion obviously), oh yeah highly overrated, that's why they are the best selling fiction novels in recorded history. The movies leave a crap load of things out and even alter major parts of the books. Try having an accurate idea of what you're talking about next time.
What I don't understand are all these little geeks that have read like six or seven Harry Potter books and become cult followers that eat up any bile garbage that has a Harry Potter label on it.
Now to actually answer the question. I forget how long the books are altogether, about 1000 pages. I think Tolkien designed the book specifically so it wouldn't be draggy, what he does is after the Fellowship he only looks at one aspect of the book for a few chapters or a whole book - you will read about Frodo and Sam for five chapters, then Gandalf and Merry then Aragon and Co. So it's not like one long uninterrupted line of events, which would make it slow. It is not like a geeky elf and wizard tale, it is much much deeper, give it a chance.
the first book is called The Hobbit and someone gave it to me ages ago. It took me a while to get into it and I started it several times, but then I decided to actually read it and found it interesting and found out that there was a trilogy that followed and ought it and loved it. I think that The Hobbit explains the basics and is very important as well. I can only recommend it and I have read it many times over since then.
It is what some people consider, ';slow'; and even ';dragging';. Often it takes that to set the basis for a good story as opposed to a ';quick thrill'; type book with little or no substance, especially those aimed at today's Teens in the U.S.. The Lord of the Rings Movies DO take away much of this (and change the story quite a bit) but they are still good. They do take away much more of the story than almost any movie that I ever saw though. For instance, they take away a LOT more of the story from the book than the last Harry Potter Movie did, and although I liked the movie, it was little more than an outline of the book.
Please remember that The Lord of the Rings was written by a professor of English Literature in the 1930s and his communication skills were different than the general public's today.
I found it quite hard to get through when I read it first. But then, I was about 8 at the time!
Not all classics are slow and draggy! If they were, they wouldn't be classics! I point you to all the Jane Austens, Jane Eyre and many many more.
Moby Dick is a bit boring though.. (But that's just in my opinion. If you like it then that's fine!)

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best book series i have ever read. At times the books can be kinda slow but that's what i like about it. it builds up the story instead of throwing you right in without any idea whats going on. I believe a good story trumps an action packed story any day.
Yes, it does take a long time to finish. But that's just because there are about 600-1000 some pages. It took me about two months to finish the 3 books, and I only skipped a couple of pages at the council of Elrond. It is easy to read if you are into it. If it doesn't interest you, it-will-be-torture. But personally, I loved it! My favourite; movies and books.
It depends, I liked reading it and have reread it many times. Others have found to be long winded and draggy. Read it and make your own mind up is the only way, as different people have different opinions of things.
I read it in my late teens and loved it. I have since bought an audio version and listen to it regulary. Try an audio version, if its abridged it will tell you the story minus the boring bits!
So, so, it's very descriptive and uses English that isn't common these days. It certainly isn't for Elementary kids, but if you get the story it's awesome.
I've read the first one, it was good, and i'm currently reading the two towers. I think you need to be a tolkien fan to read it or like fantasy books. It can drag on a bit I think.
Well, it's hardly difficult. My nine year old son has read it - several years ago. It's long, though. If you have a three second attention span, no, you are not going to find it easy to read.
It's very slow and draggy and long winded. I read some of it and he spent like two pages just describing gandalf. The movies are excellent and apparently follow the books very closely, but i would have to say that while it is a classic, i believe they are highly overrated.

Lord of the Rings is a journey that takes a bit of time and concentration, but it's definitely worth it.Is the Lord of the Rings trilogy easy to read?

The Lord of the Rings are easily the best books I've ever read (opinion obviously), oh yeah highly overrated, that's why they are the best selling fiction novels in recorded history. The movies leave a crap load of things out and even alter major parts of the books. Try having an accurate idea of what you're talking about next time.
What I don't understand are all these little geeks that have read like six or seven Harry Potter books and become cult followers that eat up any bile garbage that has a Harry Potter label on it.
Now to actually answer the question. I forget how long the books are altogether, about 1000 pages. I think Tolkien designed the book specifically so it wouldn't be draggy, what he does is after the Fellowship he only looks at one aspect of the book for a few chapters or a whole book - you will read about Frodo and Sam for five chapters, then Gandalf and Merry then Aragon and Co. So it's not like one long uninterrupted line of events, which would make it slow. It is not like a geeky elf and wizard tale, it is much much deeper, give it a chance.
the first book is called The Hobbit and someone gave it to me ages ago. It took me a while to get into it and I started it several times, but then I decided to actually read it and found it interesting and found out that there was a trilogy that followed and ought it and loved it. I think that The Hobbit explains the basics and is very important as well. I can only recommend it and I have read it many times over since then.
It is what some people consider, ';slow'; and even ';dragging';. Often it takes that to set the basis for a good story as opposed to a ';quick thrill'; type book with little or no substance, especially those aimed at today's Teens in the U.S.. The Lord of the Rings Movies DO take away much of this (and change the story quite a bit) but they are still good. They do take away much more of the story than almost any movie that I ever saw though. For instance, they take away a LOT more of the story from the book than the last Harry Potter Movie did, and although I liked the movie, it was little more than an outline of the book.
Please remember that The Lord of the Rings was written by a professor of English Literature in the 1930s and his communication skills were different than the general public's today.
I found it quite hard to get through when I read it first. But then, I was about 8 at the time!
Not all classics are slow and draggy! If they were, they wouldn't be classics! I point you to all the Jane Austens, Jane Eyre and many many more.
Moby Dick is a bit boring though.. (But that's just in my opinion. If you like it then that's fine!)
In The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM: Shadows of AngmarTM (LOTRO), players can customize certain elements of the game's user interface (UI), also known as ';skinning.'; While we don't allow you to do a full-scale UI replacement, we do give you the ability to replace selected visual elements of the UI. (A full list of these elements and their sizes is provided at the end of this overview.)
This is an updated (and prettied up) version of the information that had originally been posted in their Beta forums which we had copied to our Developer Discussions - Tutorials %26amp; Other Helpful Information forum. It is a combination of the Skinning the LOTRO UI and Art Assets posts.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best book series i have ever read. At times the books can be kinda slow but that's what i like about it. it builds up the story instead of throwing you right in without any idea whats going on. I believe a good story trumps an action packed story any day.
Yes, it does take a long time to finish. But that's just because there are about 600-1000 some pages. It took me about two months to finish the 3 books, and I only skipped a couple of pages at the council of Elrond. It is easy to read if you are into it. If it doesn't interest you, it-will-be-torture. But personally, I loved it! My favourite; movies and books.
It depends, I liked reading it and have reread it many times. Others have found to be long winded and draggy. Read it and make your own mind up is the only way, as different people have different opinions of things.
I read it in my late teens and loved it. I have since bought an audio version and listen to it regulary. Try an audio version, if its abridged it will tell you the story minus the boring bits!
So, so, it's very descriptive and uses English that isn't common these days. It certainly isn't for Elementary kids, but if you get the story it's awesome.
I've read the first one, it was good, and i'm currently reading the two towers. I think you need to be a tolkien fan to read it or like fantasy books. It can drag on a bit I think.
Well, it's hardly difficult. My nine year old son has read it - several years ago. It's long, though. If you have a three second attention span, no, you are not going to find it easy to read.
