Booksneeze Review: J.R.R. Tolkien
Available as part of the Christian Encounters series, this biography on J.R.R. Tolkien is well-organized, deep in subject matter, and enriches one's sense of Tolkien himself.
The book begins at the very beginning--when Tolkien was a baby living in South Africa. Readers will then read about the death of his parents, his marriage, service in the war, children, positions at universities, and publications. This book really has everything you need to know about Tolkien.
As a fan of Tolkien, I was intrigued and interested in learning more about the man who wrote The Lord of the Rings. This book not only provided the information in an easy-to-follow, well-organized fashion, but topped it with a more Christian mindset.
This book also enriched my experience of Tolkien's famous books. After reading this book, one can see a few situations in his life bleed into his texts, giving them a more profound meaning. I would definintely recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick, easy-to-read biography of Tolkien's life, especially from a Christian perspective.
