I bought this book expecting it to follow the format of "Lord of the Rings", with a set of well-developed characters which must endure various trials over a period of several years.
It is an interesting read for someone who has read "Lord of the Rings" and wants to know more background info, such as where the elbs go when they sail across the sea, or where Gandalf came from.
It is not a book that hooks a reader and keeps you up all night, but nonetheless enjoyable and educational.
