The Silmarillion

The Silmarillion is a difficult book to read. For fans of The Lord of the Rings, and especially the Hobbit, the dense language of The Silmarillion may appear to be rather daunting, especially in its earlier pages. However, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to get deeper into the book, you will be rewarded with insights into Middle Earth well worth your investment. This is because The Silmarillion is replete with back stories of epic, and often tragic, proportions.
