J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)

Frodo Baggins knew the Ringwraiths were searching for him—and the Ring of Power he bore that would enable Sauron to destroy all that was good in Middle-earth. Now it was up to Frodo and his faithful servant Sam to carry the Ring to where it could be destroyed—in the very center of Sauron's dark kingdom. (Goodreads)

An excellent piece of classic fantasy literature, Tolkien blends superb writing with an imaginative story to create the tale of Middle Earth and the Rings of Power. A little hard to get into (especially if you read the prologue), this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy gives the reader a superb image of the entire world that J.R.R. Tolkien has created. 8.4/10
