“This book is so enjoyable and engaging it's hard to believe that the same author then turned around and wrote a fictional history book about characters that dragged on for three novels.
If you've tried to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and can't get past the countless pages of footnote like descriptions - pick up The Hobbit. It'll explain - in one easy and enjoyable read - why JRR Tolkien is allowed to write other sleep-inducing novels and still be hailed as a great story-teller.”
