Title: You cannot compare
Review: Of all of the works of fantasy, there are some that are stood up as masterpieces. The Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Sword of Truth, and of course, The Lord of the Rings.But the Silmarillion cannot be compared to any of these others. It is not a fantasy book like any other. The Silmarillion is a narrative. It is the best of Tolkien's work because it is truly told in his words, as he recounts the history of the first age.But there is more than that. However outstanding or wonderful the Lord of the Rings is, there is simply nothing in it that is as powerful as the last stand of Hurin Thalion, or the love of Beren and Luthien.The Silmarillion is undoubtebly the finest novel I have ever read.
