Book Reviews of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien
Book Review: A Glimpse into the Mind & Soul of a Passionate Artist
Summary: 5 Stars
In The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, I discovered not only a treasure-trove of information on his complex fantasy world, but also his reflections on life in this world. In this volume's pages, Tolkien reveals his passion for living and his belief that people should always come first ahead of the machinations of kingdoms or corporations. His life is detailed in his own words, from his love story with his wife to his wisdom and guidance to his children. In all of his letters, Tolkien writes with respect and dignity, listening to his readers even in the days of his greatest fame. This book has offered me a glimpse into the mind of a passionate artist, both with words and with life, and has reminded me to always consider the soul behind the face.
