It sounds like it might have 'features of interest' (Sherlock Holmes).

I had not, and from the description and reviews, not my area of interest, so I doubt I'll be getting it, unless it shows up at Goodwill or somewhere.

I'll be looking forward to your review, however. I noticed one reviewer pointing out some factual errors.

Yes, I'll likely get it. And if I do, I'll review it.
But first I'm going to proceed through @1stvermont's book. Was only involved in the beginning of that and I'm ever so curious to see the 'rest of the story'. (Paul Harvey).

It's quite good, although the author occasionally switches between a POV that LOTR is a book for the ages and seeing it has being basically young adult fare.

So... a book for the ages for young adults. Glad I never grew up..! 😁
Hopefully I can get to it 'soon'.

Please let me know what you think, it is one of the few Tolkien books I still "need" to read.

I found it interesting, with some observations I had not considered before.
