What Members Thought

This requires several more reads and a much longer in depth review. After a first read I can see this book will be an important piece of Tolkien's Legendarium. Christopher's excellent editing and commentary show how Tolkien sought to connect thus work to his mythology. The book not only shows Tolkien mastery of the alliterative poetic form but also his sons skill at editing and commenting on his fathers work. A must read
