katymaryreads 's review for:

The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
3.25
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This would have got fewer stars if it had been narrated by anyone else, but Andy Serkis could read me the phone book and I'd enjoy it.
Maybe I would have followed it better on the page, but with so many names and characters, I really didn't know what was going on at least half the time. Beautiful language and imagery though.
