The Lord of the Rings - J R R Tolkein
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

The first major book sequence I read , many years ago as a teenager. I can still go back and read and re-read it and enjoy anew the dense imagery, the driving narrative, the sense of loss at world's passing and joy at world's saved, sacrifices made, tender love, stirring battles..... There is so much in the books.
