As a die-hard fan of "Lord of the Rings", I highly recommend this book! I believe most people will be curious about why Western readers give "The Lord of the Rings" such high praise even though it is a fantasy novel. This book gives the answer. The author not only wrote an interesting fantasy adventure story, but also created a new world on his own. In my opinion, this book has broken away from the scope of a novel and is more like a chronicle. In this book, the history of that fantasy world is told to readers, allowing readers to have a comprehensive and profound understanding of the history, culture, and language of that world.

"The song that Lúthien sang before Mandos was the most beautiful song ever woven by language, and the saddest song that will ever be heard in the world. It endures forever, and although it is no longer heard in the world, it is still sung in Valinor, and the Valar listened with sorrow. For Lúthien intertwined two themes in the lyrics, the sorrow of the Eldar and the sorrow of mankind. The lamentation of these two kinsmen, created by Ilúvatar, who lived in the earth kingdom of Arda surrounded by countless stars. She knelt before Mandos, and her tears fell on his feet, like rain falling on the rocks. Mandos, who had never been moved before, was moved to pity. "The writing is beautiful, the plot is compact, and the story is very exciting.

The Silmarillion was created by the most talented elf, Fëanor. The main plot of the whole text is the Silmaril, which contains the Light of Valinor that once existed on the Twin Sacred Trees, which was the last relic of the primordial era before any corruption had occurred. The story of the whole article is very contagious and the story is very strong. Fëanor and his sons swore a blasphemous oath and insisted on leaving their homeland to wage war against their great enemy and seek revenge to the end. The full text is also well organized, with clear and strict logic, allowing us to understand the ins and outs. It is the love and hatred between humans and elves. The author's ideas are clear, his language is natural, and his logic is rigorous. It is worth reading.

Tolkien is worthy of being called the originator of Western fantasy. The world view of Middle-earth is grand and mysterious, which makes people yearn for it. It is easy to get addicted to the masterpiece that took half a century to complete.

This book is actually an overview of the setting and history of Middle-earth, and it reads like a myth

The writing style of this book is very unique and the writing is beautiful, making me feel like I am in the world of Middle-earth. I particularly like the characters in it, such as the brave Beren and Lúthien, and the wise Elrond. However, I kind of hate Zoro, he's so bad! Overall, "The Silmarillion" is a book worth reading. It shows us a colorful fantasy world.

It's very interesting. After reading The Lord of the Rings, I have always wanted to find this book and learn more about Ilúvatar.

I have always loved books and movies about The Lord of the Rings and related themes. They are really exciting.

Needless to say perfect

Favorite Fingolfin family and Finarfin family

Very beautiful, highly recommended
