I’ve read this book before, but it has been quite some time.  I didn’t remember most of it, and the parts that I did remember somewhat were not entirely correct.  I did enjoy it and it stands out as an amazing book.  One can certainly tell that this was made as a children’s book.  While Tolkien has a reputation for explaining a lot I do wish he would have given more of a history about some of the characters, and gone into more details of some of the adventure.  I am probably one of the few people who found the Simirilian enthralling, just for that reason.  I enjoy the creation of a Univers, whether it be Middle Earth, Narnia, or any other story universe.  It is interesting to know how they came about and what they are founded up0n.
