BBC Top 100 Books - Number 1 (part 1)

I first read this book just after the film was released in 2001, I had waited a number of years to read it because I didn't want the film to be a disappointment like most films based on awesome books are. At the end of the first LOTR film, I couldn't wait until the next film was released to find out what happened, so I read the books. Despite loving the books, I didn't read any of them again until now. I had forgotten how much brilliant stuff the films had left out!

I love this story and I can't believe I went for so long without reading it again, this series will probably have to go onto my read every year or two list.
