Captivating
5 stars
So, did I enjoy The Two Towers more then The Fellowship of the Ring? Or are they equally great? Should I decide when I’ve read the last volume; The Return of the King?

Yes I know, the Lord of the Rings books were written a long time ago. During different times and within another culture. Nevertheless I wanted to write it. Because I love equality; for all genders.
So, I’m deciding after I’ve read the last volume which one I like the best.
