    “I don't know if my memory serves me right, but is it true that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were contemporaries or knew each other? Whatever, both authors are profoundly brilliant and their books are masterful!”

    “I second the motion, tanya b! Tolkien is a master! The book, aside from such a brilliant fantasy work, is profound! Reading the entire series of Tolkien's story is an experience in itself. Reflect on the deeper message it brings, it is deeply moving and inspiring! I highly recommend these books. A must read!”
