What do you think is the most well written part of Lord of the Rings?

I liked all of it but I loved of RotK best, especially the final parts of the journey to mount doom ( the orc tower of cirith ungol etc.)

I liked Many Partings all the way up to The Grey Havens. I'm a sucker for closure.

Then I can close the book, caress its cover, contemplate whether or not to have it bound in leather like two dueling voices in my head, and finally decide to put it back into the wooden chest in the basement (my room)...

The Choices of Master Samwise and The Field of Cormallen. Both emotional, poetic, moving . . .

"And all the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness."

Eloquence. Beautiful.
