Like book: like film, my favourite "volume" would have to be "Fellowship..."
Others on here have expressed similar opinions to my own as to why this volume stands out so well. For me I don't think there was an ounce of fat on either medium for this section of the book, and always has me completely ensorcelled everytime I read it.
The Two Towers & Return Of.... are both awesome books, far better than the films, but they tend to be a little overdone in places. There have been times where, after completing the first book I sometimes give up half way through The Towers because it doesn't always hold me constantly in quite the same way as Fellowship.
Similarly with the films, Fellowship, I can rewatch many times without the need for pressing the fast-forward button. But the other two films, not so much.
