	Amazon.com: Master of Middle-Earth: The Fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien: Books: Paul H. Kocher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		But Paul Kocher actually does it well -- while his essays are a bit outdated, "Master of Middle-Earth : The Fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien" still stand as some of the best interpretations of Tolkien's work.
		Kocher's essays are somewhat out of date, since they were written in the 1970s, long before the "Unfinished Tales" book was published, and it only dips into the "Silmarillion." But at the same time, his essays are thoughtful and in tune with Tolkien's trilogy, and stick closely to Tolkien's Christian beliefs and his mythic influences.
		If you read only one book to help you along as you read Tolkien's books, this could be a good choice.
