Some of the most memorable characters in literature
The Lord of the Rings is home to a great many memorable characters, but the names of Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas, and Aragorn are known far and above the rest.

Con
It may be too slow for a casual reader
The Lord of the Rings has a very slow narrative pace to begin with, and all the incredibly detailed descriptions of the environment don't help with that very much.

It's got an incredibly deep, detailed backstory
Lord of the Rings boasts one of the most detailed backstories of any series in the world. Supplementary books have been released that detail thousands of years of stories that all lead up to the events of The Lord of the Rings series.

Incredible storytelling
Tolkien is one of the all-time masters of story telling, and Lord of the Rings is his masterpiece. You enter the realm of Middle Earth, where men are joined by elves, dwarves, orcs, and other fantastic creatures, in a battle for the fate of the very world.

J. R. R. Tolkien created 5 new languages for the whole story
One of the most amazing things about The Hobbit & The Lord Of The Rings is the different languages for different race. It is incredible to think that Tolkien created new languages for his story. A language of the Elves, a language of the Dwarves, a language of the Ents, The Black Speech, and 3 languages of men. No other fantasy writer did that.

Omits some common genre staples to create a unique world
It's one of the very rare science fiction books (especially ones set in a far away future) that doesn't include robots or computers.

Con
Later books weren't finished by the original author
The original author, Frank Herbert, died after finishing the first few books. His son Brian Herbert and co author Kevin J. Anderson have since finished the series based on his scribblings, notes, and voice memos. A gargantuan task. The result can be a bit "weird" at times, but they have done an amazing job finishing the books.

Great approach for those who are easily overwhelmed
Having a long to-do list can be overwhelming for some, and can cause people to jump back in forth between tasks hoping to get through the list faster. The ONE Thing teaches the flaws with multitasking and emphasizes the importance of focus for increasing productivity.

Con
Impractical message
The author dismisses the idea of a work-life balance, calling it a lie. This book is mostly beneficial for those who don't mind sacrificing their life outside of work for more productivity in the office.

Challenges you to question the importance of your tasks
The authors challenge the idea that all tasks are of equal importance. They encourage you to question the tasks you feel need to be accomplished, allowing you to focus on the tasks that are more important.

Con
Pre-marked points throughout the book
The author has marked different points throughout the book for emphasis by underlining some key points in what looks like pencil. This can be distracting as your eyes immediately jump to the emphasized lines.
