A review by naomileunis
Boer Gilles van Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
I enjoyed this one more than the Tom Bombadil book. Then again this is an actual story whereas Tom Bombadil was full of poems.
I loved the story and the writing style. It was funny and though originally meant for children, adults can read it as well and find even more fun things within the story. The farmer, a reluctant hero, and the king, a true caricature of the medieval kings, were my favorite characters.
If you think the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are too heavy for you yet but you really wanna read Tolkien, I suggest you start with this one
