Beschreibung
Kirja on täynnä lumoavia ja ikimuistoisia hahmoja, kuten lohikäärme Smaug ja salaperäinen Gollum, jotka pitävät lukijan otteessaan alusta loppuun. Tolkienin mestarillinen kerronta yhdistää huumorin ja jännityksen, luoden unohtumattoman elämyksen, joka vie lukijan kauas harmaasta arjesta hämmästyttäviin paikkoihin.
Kersti Juvan ja Panu Pekkasen suomennos yhdistää kauniisti Tolkienin alkuperäisen kielen ja Tove Janssonin viehättävää tyyliä. Tämä teos on täydellinen lukuelämys niin nuorille kuin aikuisillekin, ja se houkuttelee palaamaan Keski-Maahan uudelleen ja uudelleen.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
I struggled with rating this because I don't think this is a graphic novel. It's an art book with Tolkien's words placed over them. It's beautiful, and a good story because The Hobbit is fantastic. But I couldn't help thinking that I would have enjoyed an actual adaptation of the novel rather than what this was. I would have really enjoyed seeing the artist showing us the story, and not just illustrating scenes and telling us what's happening.It almost seemed like a waste of time, to be honest, to read these huge paragraphs placed over illustrations. Near the end I just skipped them altogether, since I already know the story very well, and just flipped through looking at the art. I enjoyed it better that way.
Hmm not a Big fan.its drawn out and torturing. but at the same time you have to read it, beacuse you want to know what happens.(i read this back before the movie). but if you have seen the movie and then read the book, you will find Gaps, and lots of them.
