Conclusion
 Introduction
His books show a different world, where everyone can escape
from reality and be part of the fantasy world for a couple of hours.
For me, reading any kind of his books is the best way to spend
my free time, to escape from reality, into a better world, the hours
spent reading also a way of relaxation.
 The author transposes reality and the important things of his life
into fantasy and adventures.
Favorite book trilogy which had a great impact on my childhood.
Since I was a little child, I have been fascinated by the movies and
after many years by The Lord of the Rings books.
