Reviews
"One could not ask for a more congenial pair of guides to Middle-earth than Alan Sisto and Shawn E. Marchese. The combination of learning and fun that has made The Prancing Pony Podcast such a delight shines through in this tour of the Middle-earth experience. Why We Love Middle-earth is a great resource for readers and film-viewers who are new to Tolkien and curious about all things Middle-earth." --Corey Olsen, The Tolkien Professor and president of Signum University "Alan and Shawn bring the same love for Tolkien and the fandom to this book that they've brought to The Prancing Pony Podcast for years. I would expect nothing less, but I can also think of no higher praise." --Matt Graf, Nerd of the Rings "This delightful read is accessible, humorous, and informative, with the appropriate dash of nostalgia. Perfect for both new and veteran Tolkien fans alike, it is sure to entertain, enlighten, and just maybe help you step out your front door and meet other members of the Tolkien community." --K.M. Rice, author of the Afterworld series "An absolutely phenomenal read. Sisto and Marchese perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Tolkien's legacy and bring it to the page. A heartfelt look at the passion found in the Professor's stories and why Middle-earth remains such a beloved fantasy world. Tolkien fans of all ages will certainly want to add this book to their collections." --Don Marshall, Obscure Lord of the Rings Facts Guy "You will not find a friendlier, more informative-yet-easygoing introduction to Tolkien's world than this book. Alan and Shawn are like wisecracking Hobbits, simultaneously goofing off and admiring every song and story shared in Elrond's Hall of Fire. Come for the groanworthy dad jokes; stay for the deep love of the lore." --Jeff LaSala, author of The Silmarillion Primer " The Prancing Pony Podcast has established itself as an institution among those of us who like to live, breathe, and dream J.R.R. Tolkien's magnificent Middle-earth legendarium. Approachable yet knowledgeable, fan-friendly yet scholarly, the PPP is one of those rare podcasts that successfully bridges the gap between the absolute Tolkien beginner and the serious devotee. This has clearly also been their intention with this book, and they have definitely succeeded in that aim. Why We Love Middle-earth is an entertaining read, but it also offers in-depth commentary on Tolkien's works, the various film adaptations, and the fan responses to those works, guiding the novice through approaching the books as well as offering new insights for the serious reader. Maintaining the balance between the disparate audiences is no mean feat, but the result is a delightful and fascinating read that I would heartily recommend to all fans of Middle-earth." --Dr. Sara Brown, language & literature department chair, Signum University "From erudition to entertainment, from comedy to camaraderie, The Prancing Pony Podcast is the Car Talk of Tolkien podcasts. Whether you are a Tolkien beginner or were there 300 episodes ago, Alan and Shawn are always worth listening to. Why We Love Middle-earth is a great introduction to Tolkien and the podcast. By treating the books, adaptations, and fandom individually, Alan and Shawn have once again proven themselves excellent guides for those wanting to enter Middle-earth.
