Visually? The movie does it better (obviously). Otherwise, Tolkienâs book does a much better job of fleshing out the characters. I love both but the book just hits different.
Not my favourite style of writing but you cannot beat this timeless classic. A truly amazing storyline that has obviously impacted the genre so deeply. If you like fantasy, this is a must read - but you already know that!
I don't know how anyone would not enjoy this series. Perfect high fantasy with perfectly fleshed-out characters.Two Towers was my favorite.
