The Lord of The Rings

Last week I watched The Lord of The Rings movies for the first time. I didn't expect to like them very much, but was pleasantly surprised! (I like to be pleasantly surprised. Who doesn't? :) They were very good and I enjoyed them a lot. My favorite was either the first or the third one, but probably the third.

One thing that made an impression on me the most was how loyal everyone was to each other and what strong friendships they had. For instance, Sam and Frodo, Merry and Pippin, and Gimli and Legolas. These are only a few of many strong friendships that I noticed. They stood by each other through thick and thin and always seemed to be there for one another. It was the perfect picture of what friendship really is.

The movies were filled with danger, excitement, and hope. Each one left me in suspense until, at last, I had watched them all and couldn't believe how good they were and how much I liked them!

After watching the movies I started the books. I read "The Hobbit" in almost two days and am now well into "The Fellowship of The Ring". I won't be reading it as fast as I did The Hobbit though because it's nearly four hundred pages! Yeah, a pretty thick book. :) I am enjoying the books just as much as I did the movies.

Anyway, The Lord of The Rings is a great series. They are now my favorite movies and, so far, books also. If you have seen the movies and/or read the books what did you think of them? I would love to know!
