Book Review By Steve
The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

In the last book of this trilogy, the armies of good fight the overwhelming forces of Sauron in order to keep Sauron distracted so Frodo Baggins can, inch by inch, creep into Mordor and destroy the ring of power, which they hope will give Sauron a case of magical indigestion.
