What is there left to say about this trilogy? I have worn out so many copies of the individual paperbacks that having the trilogy in hardcover is a blessing, especially since I re-read it once a year. Frodo and Samwise truly show the meaning of friendship and the story has worked on many levels for me for over 40 years--first as simply a wonderful fantasy and then as I have grown older, the many nuances and undercurrents of social commentary have taken shape until Middle Earth is almost a reality.
