Named one of the Top 3 Best Tolkien Mega Sites.

"A Flash extravaganza, this 'Journal And Exploits Of The Hobbits Of The Shire' looks like absolutely no other LOTR site. The news -- every site covering the movies has to have news, after all - is neatly presented, and the archives are particularly easy to navigate. Promising but still ramping up is the reference section, which tends toward the concise, but looks terrific, especially for those who prefer a more visual guide to the books' characters. Visitors on slow collections may find some of the fancier pages maddeningly slow to load, but if your connection is up to the challenge, this is a gorgeous stopover."
Tolkien World 12.20.01 - TolkienWorld.com

2001 Quality Award Winner

"This website is so amazingly beautiful, it's totally in the style of Tolkien's Middle-Earth and it has absolutely no flaws. The whole setup of the site is perfect, but remember it's not a news site and maybe not a site you'll visit everyday. But the magic of this website is so extreme, it's TolkienWorld.com's best membersite!"
