The Fellowship of the Ring

Yesterday I finished The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien. This is the first in the Lord of The Ring trilogy that follows the Hobbit. Bilbo ends up leaving the shire leaving Frodo, his nephew, behind to keep the ring he found. Gandalf the wizard finds out the ring is the powerful and the dangerous one ring that is being sought after and sends him on a quest, with some fellow hobbit friends, to go to the elves in the wood. On his journey he is pursued by 9 black riders. When he finally gets there a meeting was held to figure out what is to happen to the ring. They decide to destroy the ring and a fellowship of 9 people, including the ring bearer Frodo, set out on the first part of the journey.
I give this book a 4 out of 5. It was very exciting, but there were many boring parts in the book that were difficult to get through. Regardless, I am excited to read the second book in the series. If you can get through some of the boring parts this book is really awesome!
