Review: The Return of the King (Book Three)

The Return of the King by J.R.R.Tolkien, young adult classic. Ages 9 and up.
Book three in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

5 out of 5 stars

The final book in the Trilogy, where all good joins in a final attempt to destroy the Ring of Power. A deceitful guide leads Frodo and Sam to Mordor... or where is he leading them? The rest of the fellowship, not knowing whether Frodo is even alive, tries to give him a last chance by engaging Mordor's army; but will they succeed? I am reading the last part of the book now, and it has all been very exciting. Tolkien uses the same style of following the groups in the fellowship, sometimes leaving you in a very exciting scene, which makes you just *have* to read more.
