Book Review: Lord of the Rings (Part 1)

Since this is one of my favourite books, I want to try and go into the details for The Fellowship of the Ring.....
(from my memory)
Places:- The Shire, Bree, Old Forest, Rivendell, Lothorien, ....cannot remember

People:- Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Tom Bombadil, Strider, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Elrond, Arwen, ......

Summary:- Frodo was entrusted to bring the Ring to Rivendell, for the Council to decide on who is to bring the ring to Mount Doom, to be destroyed. As the group of Hobbits go to Rivendell, they go through hazards along the way.... and when they reach Rivendell, the following people were chosen (reasons in brackets):

1. Gandalf (as advisor);
2. Aragorn/Strider (no reason apparent);
3. Gimli son of Gloin (representing Dwarves);
4. Legolas son of Thranduil (representing Elves);
5. Boromir (representing Man);
6. Frodo (volunteered to carry the Ring);
7. Sam (will not leave Frodo);
8. Merry (want to go with their kin, on adventure); and
9. Pippin (want to go with their kin, on adventure).

Interesting Thoughts:-
(Since this may be very long, it will warrant another post)

Till then, I will go back and review LOTR before I come back on this....
