Lord of The Rings

Lots of viewers of the very first Lord of the Rings film became instant fans. The film is an awe-inspiring, dramatic, and touching experience. Yet, people who have read the novel would argue that far too many aspects from the novel were omitted from the film. After The Fellowship of the Ring aired in 2001, Tolkien's followers were outraged because it omitted some of their iconic characters. (Tom Bombadil and Goldberry were only supporting characters, yet they are amusing and memorable. However, all of them did not appear in the film).

Readers also reported that lots of their favorite sections were cut off the movies. "If you enjoy the films but haven't read the books," they claimed, "you're missing out half of the story."

That is to say that, no matter how amazing the film adaptation can be, Tokien’s book series will always be relevant. Tolkien thoroughly explored each of the important arcs in the book. Despite their length, the books were intriguing and quite enjoyable. The writing is so vivid and realistic that you'll feel as if you're a part of the narrative. It expands your creativity in ways you cannot fathom, and affects you in ways that no other book can. Once you've read it, you're never going to forget the characters. Without a question, the Lord of the Rings novels are true works of art.
