I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to discover the world of Tolkien. I am a very casual reader but then I hung on. Despite having read everything and anything about this book (boring, too long, too many descriptions) I was pleasantly surprised by its ease of reading. I recommend the version connected and illustrated editions C. Bourgois. The paper quality is pleasant to the touch, the texts sufficiently ventilated and entertaining illustrations, short nothing to do with the paperback editions still difficult to read ...
I look forward to the reissue of the major work (Lord of the Rings) of the editor (February 2013)
I will conclude by telling you not to follow the negative reviews of this book, it is really accessible to all, it''sa beautiful object.
