- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very helpful to understand Tolkien. A sympathetic and balanced presentation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written bio of Tolkien. It's not a deep analytical work, but still a nice blend of the details of his personal life, as well as of his tales, both short and long. The book is excellently read by Simon Vance.
