This is really only worthwhile if you've read LotR once, or maybe twice. If you've read it more times than that, this book is almost entirely a compendium of the obvious. There were, if I recall correctly, about five things in this book that had not already occurred to me. (I can think of only four, but I figure a 25% allowance for my forgetfulness is ample.) Worse than that, though, are the unwarranted overinterpretations and parts that are just plain wrong. (I could give actual examples but I just don't care enough to make the effort.) The author says he's been teaching LotR in college courses for twenty years and this is a superficial treatment of the work, so the errors glare all the more. I wouldn't say it's rife with errors but given the general dullness of most of the book, and the few instances of actual interest, the errors are my standout memory. This is a great introductory guide to "The Lord of the Rings". In it there is background and explanation for such varying elements as geography, language, peoples, and the background history Tolkien created. For readers of "The Lord of the Rings" who want to understand the book on a deeper level, seeing connections, this is the book to get them started. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
