The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, #3)

I've hear dozens times that Tolkien is the father of fantasy genre and now I've finally witnessed it myself. In The Lord of the Rings you can really see a lot of plot-lines, character, world-building and races used later in various fantasy stories. Although for a modern reader these books might seem to be a bit boring and archaic, it's a definite must-read for genre fans.

I'm glad you liked the series. I agree with you, though. It probably shouldn't be judged against the current genre.
Considering how well the book has sold, and been discussed, especially since the amazing movie series, I kind of doubt this: "for a modern reader these books might seem to be a bit boring and archaic." Especially after I have seen all my nieces, nephews, son, and homeschool friends pay absolute RAP attention to the books.
A must visit for any Fantasy bookworm indeed!
