In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The best book by the best reader

For those of us who needed a bit of Peter Jackson to help us appreciate the grandeur of Tolkien’s work, this book was made for us. It is an experience in the very best of what audiobooks offer - the best of literature performed by a true artist, Andy Serkis. I’m so happy that the producer, whoever they are, put this together. It is a true gem.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 146
Kate Sutton is all arms and legs. She possesses none of her sister Alicia’s honey-eyed beauty, but is intelligent and willful like her grandfather. It is an injustice, then, when Kate is falsely accused of Alicia’s wrongdoing and is banished to remote Elvenwood Hall. But the world Kate encounters in Derbyshire, England, is so strange and otherworldly that she has little time for regret. Elvenwood Hall has another, secret name - the Perilous Gard - and a mysterious history to go with it. It isn’t long before Kate has a hundred questions about her new home.

Perfectly written. A hidden gem that shouldn’t be. This story has intrigue, romance, adventure and the language is exquisite.

How did I get duped by some many good reviews. This is a disturbing story. I couldn't even finish it.

January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.... As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.

a little confusing but entrancing once you get it

I've read this book before and the letters have always confused me. You have to be pretty astute to notice who is writing to who from whom and where. This time I watch the movie first which I don't normally even follow up with the movie but it really helped me to grasp the characters and then appreciate all of the literary gems that were scattered throughout the book.
