regitzexenia's review
4.0
Another splendid study of Tolkien's appeal through the years and with a lot of point I'll be using for my argumentation for a connection between ecology, culture and moral nature of the different characters. I think what I enjoyed most was how short and effectively Curry presents his case.

No time for a full review, but essentially this was interesting enough, but the author presented a view that was clearly his own without, on many occaisions, backing it up with evidence from the texts. A little too anti-science.

Within its limits, good and sound analysis. But in this day and age you can't preface a book about Tolkien by saying you'll focus on the two published while he was alive; Tolkien Studies have evolved since then, with the publication of his unfinished works.
