tyranist's Review
This is, of course, usually everybody's favorite part of the trilogy, I am no exception. This is the book that makes me cry every time I read it. This is the book that sometimes makes me wish I had the resolve of a hobbit. This is the book that made me love the series forever. There is a magic in what Tolkien does and what he accomplishes in this book. It is so very well written and so moving. I find it difficult to even adequately voice the impact this book has had. Well, I can gush I guess.
