Title: Very good, though not meant to be easy reading
Review: Awhile back I read The Silmarillion after reading The Hobbit/LOTR series. I enjoyed the Old Testament inspired beginning of the book of how Middle Earth came to be and the Valar who strived to protect it from Morgoth the first dark lord. It was also interesting reading about the ancestors of characters such as Elrond. However, as many people have mentioned before in their reviews it does get complicated and isn't always easy to digest. At times I had to take notes on the names because I didn't know that there's family trees and an index in the back of the book that's very useful! It's a book that might need to be read over and over in order to fully grasp everything mentioned.
