The Return of the King, by JRR Tolkien, is the final book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In this book, the hobbits Frodo and Sam, take the final step to destroy the treacherous Ring of Power. But it has been a hard journey littered by perils, and Frodo has begun to despair. Can Sam keep their hopes up long enough to complete their journey?
Far away, their hobbit friends Merry and Pippin are fighting a battle of their own. They fight to destroy the power of the evil wizard Saruman. But there is danger at every turn! Will Merry and Pippin live to see the day when Frodo and Sam return?
This book was my least favorite of the series, but it was still a great book! I'm sad to be finishing the series, but I can always read them again. The characters were all very well developed, but there were so many that I sometimes had a hard time keeping track of them!
I give this book 8.5 out of 10 stars!

Okay, I really have to re-read these once what passes for my summer starts. Plus, I guess, The Hobbit. I read the trilogy so long ago that I honestly don't recall how one volume compared to the others. And are you going to watch the movies now? I can't wait to hear what you think of them.
Congratulations on finishing the challenge, Annie!
Wow! 15 books for the Once Upon a Time challenge...what a great accomplishment, Annie! Congratulations!
Great job completing the challenge, Annie! I have so enjoyed having you do this. I hope you join us in September for the R.I.P. (Readers in Peril) Challenge. This will be the second time I have hosted this one and it is all about reading scary, creepy books. It is great fun!!!
Return of the King is my favorite of the three, I think. It is a pretty close tie with The Two Towers.
I am curious, now that you've read the books, what do you think of them compared to the movies?
