review 1: This is a short book and an easy read but it tells the life story of J.R.R. Tolkien in such a way the I felt like I knew something of the intellect and, as importantly, the human side of this genius. The book is a biography and a love story that makes the reader sigh and wish that it could go on and on. It makes me want to re-read all of the books again even though I have read them multiple times before. His was a singular vision and passion for a tale well told. I highly recommend it to anyone who has read his books, seen the movies, or has any interest in this master storyteller.
review 2: My husband said I would enjoy this Juvenile book from the Library and he was right! There are only a few children capable to read the following book with their parent ... moreto get the full benefit. I would suggest reading it ahead of time to see if you want to read that chapter as there are some hard subjects. Also it is a book worth discussion after each Chapter. It is written by Anne E. Neimark and it is called MythMaker the life of J.R. R. Tolkien. A lot packed into about 125 pages. If you do not have children ready for this book it is also a good adult read may leave you hungry to read more about his life. less
