    THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING Ep. 3: Why Frodo is a Different Kind of Hero (Book 1, Chapters 9-12)

    The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of J. R. R. Tolkien's story of an epic battle between good and evil, starring not an Elf, not a Dwarf, not a Man, but one very scared hobbit. In this six-part deep dive from The 2am Book Review Club, we'll be exploring Tolkien's characters, themes, and world-building, and we'll be discussing why, more than 70 years after its publication, The Fellowship of the Ring remains one of the world's most famous and beloved stories. This is episode 3, in which we're discussing Book 1, Chapters 9-12. This episode is focused on analysis, but as promised, if you'd like a recap of everything important that happens in these chapters, check out my latest Substack post!
