Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkein

WOW!!  What a GREAT book! 

This is the tale of the battle at Gondor, the rise of Aragorn or King Elfstone, and the final destruction of the ring.  I was enraptured by the story and would have called it the best book that I have ever read, except the end was quite dull.  Although interesting, I could have done without reading about the hobbits’ journey back home.  I found parts of the appendix quite interesting, as well.  I have to wonder though…the book is already so long, why no just include those things in the original story? 
Anyhow, this will always be a favorite!  I will look forward to reading it again with my children.
