Frodo's Journey: Discover the Hidden Meaning of The Lord of the Rings

Incredible book. Highly recommend.

I loved this book.Great new insights into the connection between LOTR and the faith. Highly recommend.

1. It’s concise. Not many authors can get their point across quickly2. It’s funny.3. It’s conversational. Too many authors forget that writing is just a substitute for talking, not a display of erudition.4. It’s enlightening.All these features make it impossible to put down.

I learned so much in this book. It deepened my love for LOTR and Tolkien.

A masterful and erudite analysis of LOTR and of the pivotal character, Frodo. I have read the novel several times over the years, and never have come near Joseph Pearce's insights. After reading this book I have one question bordering on trivia: I would like to know the artist and the relevance of the illustrations, They intrigue me and frustrate me because there is not a word of reference to them anywhere in the book. Whom or what do they depict? I wish Mr. Pearce or the illustrator, if another than the author, would comment on them.

Informative, thought provoking and insightful! I learned a lot and enjoyed the process. I highly recommend it for any Tolkien fan!

I have long been a fan of Tolkien's works. This book, along with the Faith that he and I share, helps explain why.The Lord of the Rings has numerous references to Catholic teaching and practice, as well might be expected from an openly Catholic author. This book explores those references in depth and detail.Highly recommended!

Joseph Pearce has done a great good in his expository of the character of Frodo, as well as of the LOTR. Most people who have read Tolkien simply enjoy the stories at their most superficial level; but they do do not make the effort to respond to the niggling in their subconscious which tells them to consider things more deeply. Pearce has done this, and thus revealed deeper meaning and significance in the characters and events throughout the LOTR. The effect of this new insight is to re-present the whole story with "more brightly colored" understanding.

A really interesting, thought provoking and eye opener brief essay, particularly (but certainly not only) for those who loved The Lord of the Rings (preferably the book rather than the film, of course). A reading of Tolkien’s book from Tolkien’s catholic perspective.

Heeft het klassieke verhaal van Tolkien, in de ban van de ring, een diepere betekenis? Kom er alles over te weten in dit mooie en goede boek. Goed geschreven en gedocumenteerd!
