The Return of the King (Thing 1)

We read The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien. It's the final book in the Lord of the Rings series.

This book was probably my least favorite out of all of them. It was the most confusing and the others were better in my opinion. There are lots of battles with Gandolf and the others and Frodo and Sam are still following Golem to destroy the ring. There are bits of humor near the end of the book and it has a surprising finish.

I would give this book. It was the most confusing but it was a good wrap up story.

For our activity we watched the animated Lord of the Rings movie. It had all three books in one movie and it was good but it was very strange. They left out tons of stuff and the ending wasn't at all like the book.

After reading all of the books, my favorite book in the series would have to be either The Hobbit (which technically isn't part of The Lord of the Rings) or The Two Towers.Link

It's so interesting to me that you and Thing 2 gave it the same rating (and for similar reasons, too). I'm glad you got to read the entire trilogy.
