Title: Love Tolkien, Really Disliked These Tales
Review: I am an avid Tolkien fan, and I purchased this book as part of my exploration of his other works (other than his Middle Earth tales).I found to my own surprise and regret this book to be really dull and not very memorable. The style that he brings to LoTR is not present here, and it was very reminiscent (to me) of George McDonald, who is one of the authors that Tolkien grew up reading and enjoying.If you like George, I think this book will appeal to you. For myself, I do not care for George's style, and found myself wanting the book to be over as soon as possible.
