Before read this and get really confused, understand that this happens before Lord of the Rings, and before the Hobbit. It's also a tragedy.

If you're interested in getting into J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Arda beyond "The Hobbit"/"The Lord of the Rings," this is a GREAT place to start! "The Silmarillion" can be daunting because it reads more like a history text or a Bible at…

J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, The Lord of the Rings, stands as one of the greatest works of the English language alongside books like East of Eden, The King James Bible, and the plays of William Shakespeare. It is a novel of depth, brilliance,…

Tolkien's work is a Tragic Epic that had me hooked. Some of the names became a little confusing due to their similarity and the style of prose is definitely different, but I really enjoyed the book overall. The map at the back was helpful…

As a whole the story is quite epic in it's Tolkien style, and it is great to get more than just a note-ish glimpse into the tale from the First Age and of the peoples of Beleriand. The Silmarillion offers quite a look into it as well, but…

I somehow missed that this book was being published and found out the day it ran out of stock at every bookstore in Seattle! I had to wait a couple days for B&N to get it in, then finished it in two days. Tolkien's epic fantasy style is…

An epic and yet saddening tale from the days of Middle-earth yore. Chilling, words cold and bleak from the dark wrought into the light; great were the trails and trials of the shadow on the children of Hurin. From henceforth, be ye…

Wonderful Book!! To whoever who loves Tolkien's style of fiction...It's written in the rather complicates English style of J.R.R Tolkien, but still VERY enjoyable..Highly recommended for fantasy-lovers...

This book is very good! As usual, Tolkien's story-telling creates a crafty and chilling tale with great twists and turns, dragons and magic. My favorite story (besides Lord of the Rings) by Tolkien. A must-read for Tolkien fans!

A gorgeous volume with illustrations, colour plates and even a fold out map enhance the experience but overall this book lacks the coherency and scope of Tolkien's more polished works. Recommendable for fans, the casual reader possibly…

Great book. I love the style, the prose being a mix between that of LotR and the Silmarillion. And of course, Alan Lee is a great artist.
