Title: Not my style
Review: I cannot recommend this book. I did not enjoy it, and found its style largely rambling (poorly written), and making few points of interest to me. If you have a deep background in English literature or linguistics, this book may be of interests to you, provided of course you are a Tolkien fan. For the rest of us who are neither, I would recommend instead the works of Ralph C. Wood "The Gospel According to Tolkien"The Gospel According to Tolkien: Visions of the Kingdom in Middle-earthor Richard Purtill's "J.R.R. Tolkiien: Myth, Morality and Religion."The J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality, and ReligionI preferred Wood to Purtill, but both are informative, and in my mind much more engaging and clearly written than this work. There are a few interesting insights here, but amidst too much empty and rambling verbiage.
Is the review positive or negative?
