Lord of the Rings Summary (of what I read)

 Lord of the Rings is a very interesting book, it's just not my book. The story starts off with Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday. Bilbo was turning 111 and Frodo was turning 20 or 60 something. Near the end of the grand party Bilbo decided to "disappear". He really just put on the magic ring which makes him invisible and walked to his house. He wanted to go off on a vacation to finish his book, but he had to leave his "precious", the ring. This left Gandalf, a wizard, to explain the ring's powers to Frodo and how he had to destroy it because of the terrible power it has which he recently discovered about. Frodo left to an elvish kingdom with his friends Marry, Pippen, and Sam in secret. All people of Hobbiton, his home, thought he was going to where he was born because Frodo did not want to be stopped from going on an adventure. They do end up going to Frodo's birth place and meet up with a "black figure riding a black horse". It seemed to go after the ring, the ring that is supposed to be destroyed. They manage to get away...barely. That's all I read but it's a good book. I recommend it to anyone who has read The Hobbit or just likes crazy adventures/fantasy.
