To me a true rediscovery of the text: reading pleasure and the feeling of being caught again by that monumental history! I recommend this new translation both new readers and regulars of the oeuvre by Tolkien, who can find a freshness and a renewed pleasure. The disorder of the disappearance of the old names is quickly dissipated by the ingenuity of the new translations, and often one is amazed by the work of D. Lauzon. Undoubtedly this book does not overlap with the old translation, it is a real added value. I want the readers who discover the War of the Ring for the first time by reading this release. Strongly on!
