Title: Classic by Tolkien in hardcover
Review: Ever since I was first swept away by this book when I was in 4th grade, I've had a soft spot for Tolkien's works. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings inspired me to become an English instructor and travel the world in search of adventure. Now, with all the talk of a "prequel" movie based on The Hobbit, I decided to go back and read it again. For a children's book there is an amazing relevance and persistence of indelible imagery untouched by the decades. The story's moral lessons about the destructiveness of greed and avarice are needed in this era of Wall Street bail-outs and 21st century piracy. My used copy arrived in good condition, but without the charming dust jacket designed by Tolkien. My book just had a plain black cover with a big white inventory sticker that tore into the cover when I peeled it off! This rather disappointing experience has convinced me to avoid this seller in the future. Does anybody have a spare dust jacket they could send me?
Is the review positive or negative?
