Book Reviews of The Atlas of Middle-Earth

Book Review: A Good Book for Tolkien fanatics
Summary: 4 Stars

The Atlas of Middle Earth is a good book for anyone who is obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. And I do mean obsessed. If you just watched the movies, this probably isn't for you. I would recommend this for anyone who is seriously interested in the history and cartography of Middle Earth. The author goes over each of the ages of Middle Earth, providing a history along with maps of the land. The maps are impressive, with one exception: they can be a bit confusing. There is a lot going on in the maps, and they really need to be studied in order to make sense of them. That being said, the concept of an atlas of such a well-loved and well developed world as Middle Earth, is great, and i commend the author on doing such a great job with it. Highly recommended for any serious Tolkienite.
