| Re: Have you read other Tolkien books....
It's just a shame that The Silmarillion and Children Of Hurin couldn't have been presented in an easy-reading style like LOTR or The Hobbit
They may be informative and interesting to those requiring further knowledge of Middle Earth , but I cannot say that they are ENJOYABLE to read - which , let's face it , is the main reason people read novels
If The LOTR or The Hobbit had been written in a similar style to The Silmarillion or The Children Of Hurin , it is unlikely that either would have been as well-read , and well-loved , as they still are today |
