I would give this book less than one star if I could. Almost quit my book club when they made me read this.

No matter how much I love Tolkien's world, it was tiring.

If your man is not willing to get enslaved by the literal devil bc he was trying to impress your dad he is not the one for you!

Magnificent - truly a labour of love. It is such a gift to be given this kind of insight into J.R.R. Tolkien's writing process and see the evolution of a single love story dedicated to his wife. Younger Tolkien's sincere and thorough dedication to his father's literary legacy has always and will continue to move me. My gratitude to him is unending.

So, I must admit that Beren and Luthien is not my favorite book of Middle Earth. The story is intriguing, sure, but the book doesn't make it easy for the reader to fully enjoy it. It is practically a book with the same story written in different formats, with only a few alterations between them.
