Title: Awesome
Review: Tolkien has singlehandedly created a vast and largely consistent mythology that provides a splendid background for the epic Lord of the Rings. I found many of the tales quite gripping and complete in their own right. Some parts of the book though were a bit taxing or even outright boring. If you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings, you should really take the time to read this (and the Hobbit). All the three books are written in very different styles.
