This book was amazing!! I listened to the audio version, and the performance took some getting used to since the performer sounded sort of robotic. I can't wait to watch the show to see how it compares.
I listened to this on an audiobook that had a full performance (different voice actors for each character) and that was definitely the way to go!
To start, I definitely see why this is a classic. The story is timeless, and the writing is wonderful. With that being said, this is just not the story for me. I have never liked stories strictly focused on romance, or stories about the trials and tribulations of socialite life- and that is exactly what this book is about. Even though I don't like these kinds of stories, this is still the best one I've ever read.
This was such a difficult read, and I had to take it slowly to fully understand it. The book spanned across many generations, races, and languages so there was a lot to keep up with. The rating is on the lower side for me due to the two mentions of incest which I was not a fan of. Otherwise it was an interesting story of how Middle-earth came to be.
