Most young or adult readers dream about having a great book with a little bit of everything. This book has a great mix of suspence,fantasy,action, and adventure. It is divided into two parts, the adventure of Sam and Frodo, and the adventure of the rest of the fellowship of the ring. This book is much better than the first but to read it you have to read the first book. The thing that astonished me the most was how the author developed the characters, making us readers know their personalities as if they really existed. I would recommend this book to any good reader, for his dream of a great book might come true.
