The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Hi guys! This post will be about the book that I'm reading now. It's called "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. The book has 407 pages and I read just 128. As I told you last week I start reading this book because I watched the movie and I loved it and I wanted to see if the book and the movie are similar or are different. This 128 pages that I read don't match any part of the movie and that's very interesting.
I will tell you what happened in the book till now. So at the beginning of the book Bilbo Baggins is celebrating his 111th birthday. He invited all the Shire (the country/place where all the hobbits live) at his party and he had a special guest: his old friend, Gandalf.gandalf was a wizard.While doing his speech at his party, Bilbo magically dispersed from the scene he was on.Nobody knew what happened except Gandalf. He knew that Bilbo used the Ringto become invisible. After 10 minutes everybody fforgot and the party went on. Frodo was very suspicious of what happened. Frodo was adopted by Bilbo when his parents died and he was living with Bilbo for a lot of time. Gandalf went at Bag End (Bilbo's house) and he met Bibo there. Bilbo told him that eh want to live the Shire because he misses the adventure and the mountains and all the beauty of the nature. So he lefts Bag End and live all his belongings to Frodo. He left the Ring too! No long after Bilbo left (nobody knows where he went) Frodo came home. Gandalf was waiting fro him. Gandalf told him what happened with Bilbo and start telling him more about the Ring. I will summarize you what Gandalf told Frodo. He began by telling him that Lord Sauron made that ring. Sauron was evil. Except his ring there were other ones. There is a little poem that tells about all of them:
 "Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
  Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
  Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
  One for the Dark Lord on his Dark throne..."
These are all the  Rings that exist. Frodo had the Dark Lord's one. These Ring was suppose to take them all under his control. Sauron got nine of them before he died and lost the Ring. Now he was back and he send his troops to find Frodo and to take the Ring. Gandalf told Frodo that he should go to Mordor and destroy that ring. Frodo told Gandalf that he will move to a quiet part of the Shire where he can think about the Ring and his journey. He bought a house in a small city (I don't remember the name right now) and moved there with his friends Sam, Merry and Pippin. Hr told Merry to go there and get the house ready because he, Sam and Pippin will go for a little journey through the Shire and will get there soon. The trip was interesting. During the trip they found out that Sauron already send some kind of "Black Riders" after them. They also meet some Elves that gave them food and shelter for one night. They arrived in 4 days where they supposed to go.
Hope you enjoyed my little summary of the beginning!
