Rating:  out of 5 stars - Histories of Middle Earth Tolkien
My husband loves Tolkien and will enjoy reading from this set of books. Price was good and shipping was fast.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I was extremely disappointed in the whole set of books. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. Lord of the Rings was so good that I assumed anything written by the same author would be good and worth reading but I got an unpleasant surprise.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - collected works
It's been a while since I was able to read the original trilogy, so after I did, I bought this boxed set. I like boxed sets, especially for serial material, as it looks better on the shelf.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Cheaply Printed Versions of Important Tolkien Work
I bought this set of the first five volumes of Tolkien's history of Middle Earth and while all the content is there, the quality of the publications is mass paperbook at its worst. Dry scratchy paper, type that is too small for my tired eyes to read and cheap bindings that were I to continually use would no doubt fall apart before the paper turned yellow.

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Wonderful!!!
I started to read the Silmarillion, and then I read these. I had never liked poetry beforehand, I had actually rather detested it, but I loved the poetry in here. I many respects, I actually prefer these to the Silmarillion because these are longer and more in depth. However, if you don't feel like reading 50 pages of something with tons of footnotes and endnotes, you probably shouldn't read these.
