This is Tolkien's 1st writing effort and it shows. His son writes in voluminous detail about the characters and places in the book. It was just wading through a story with not much plot. I am a BIG fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, so there's promise there, but I wouldn't recommend the book.

I'm Not entirely "through" the book - BUT. EVEN in the first few Chapters.... the Magic re-appears from Memory... By only a Few pieces of a Massive 'jigsaw puzzle', I'm Drawn back IN to the World made incredibly Real in the Prose of Tolkien.. Forget mere 'Prequel' jargon, the History Builds the excitement.. SETS the Stage.. And Answers the Questions left open! Very affordable paperback edition - Travelling Size! NO Boredom allowed! Highly recommended!
