This is one of the best stories ever written--EVER! It's profoundly beautiful epic fantasy. I have never been so sucked into the world of a book the way I have been with the Silmarillion. I nearly cried the first time I finished it because I was no longer in Middle Earth (I was 13 or 14, if that makes it better)!Tolkien is one of the few authors who I never question while reading. You know how in some books you stop and think things like why the author explained something strangely, why a certain character seems so out of place in the story, or why a piece of dialogue is painful and unnecessary? That doesn't happen with Tolkien! He tells stories so perfectly, so succinctly that you just accept it without question.Yes, you will have to flip back to the index of names many times, especially at the beginning, but tough through it because it's worth it!

i was disappointed in the silmarillion. i only read the lord of the rings trilogy this year, and was so amazed at how enthralling it all was. i just flew through them, absolutely great books. but the silmarillion i found to be so dull, with the exception of a chapter or two. mostly a chore to read.

The Silmarillion was never really a completed work, being completed and published posthumously. So, unfortunately it does not shine in its own right. However, it is a wonderful companion to The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings saga. It portrays the foundation and very creation of that well-known land, and gives a glimpse of the world of Middle-Earth prior to and during the creation and existence of the One Ring in the power of Sauron. It's a fascinating read, and one I think any lover of that magical world should look into. ( )

I really enjoyed reading "The Silmarillion," though I'll admit it was one of those books I didn't make it all the way through the first time I tried reading it (I think it was a reading level thing). Now that I've actually finished it, I think it is a very interesting in-depth description of Tolkien's world, and it gives the Lord of the Rings trilogy more depth through background knowledge. Read it! ( )

The book is an account of the First Age which precedes the action in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0345306929, Mass Market Paperback)

The Silmarillion is J.R.R. Tolkien's tragic, operatic history of the First Age of Middle-Earth, essential background material for serious readers of the classic Lord of the Rings saga. Tolkien's work sets the standard for fantasy, and this audio version of the "Bible of Middle-Earth" does The Silmarillion justice. Martin Shaw's reading is grave and resonant, conveying all the powerful events and emotions that shaped elven and human history long before Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf and all the rest embarked on their quests. Beginning with the Music of the Ainur, The Silmarillion tells a tale of the Elder Days, when Elves and Men became estranged by the Dark Lord Morgoth's lust for the Silmarils, pure and powerful magic jewels. Even the love between a human warrior and the daughter of the Elven king cannot defeat Morgoth, but the War of Wrath finally brings down the Dark Lord. Peace reigns until the evil Sauron recovers the Rings of Power and sets the stage for the events told in the Lord of the Rings. This is epic fantasy at its finest, thrillingly read and gloriously unabridged. (Running time: 14 hours, 6 CDs)
