A review from my old blog...

I found this book immensely interesting. I absolutely love Lord of the Rings and have always wanted to know more about the man who wrote that absolutely amazing story such as his writing process and what influenced his different decisions.

I definitely discovered things I didn't know about Tolkien before. He was a very bright man with a pleasant outlook during his younger years. As he grew older his outlook on life because increasingly bitter. I grew to pity him towards the end of the book.

I really enjoyed reading these letters and reading about the creation of one of the most magnificent stories ever created.
