Hey, this is a great topic by the way!
I had always heard about this great trilogy called "The Lord of the Rings" but I never bothered to check it out. I was a very foolish child. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But after I saw FotR in theatres, I decided I absolutely HAD to read the book(s).
I bought the novel and started in on it. I was hooked. It just about killed me to put it down. I would read it at every moment I could and some of the moments I shouldn't have been. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
When I got toward the last of the book I felt very uncertain as to if I wanted to finish the book. (I know it sounds odd, but bear with me for a second. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) I was so gripped by the story and very much enjoying the suspense of not knowing what was going to happen, yet I was absolutely dying to finish it!!! Of course my fate was decided for me because I seriously couldn't put it down until I had read the very last page.
It was undoubtedly the most gripping, well written book I've ever read. I'm starting on his other books now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
