A review by henryarmitage
The Shaping of Middle-Earth by Christopher Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien

2.0

Heavy going. This might be just the book for you if you're writing
your thesis on Tolkien, but it's not that great as far as just reading
it for entertainment. Christopher Tolkien continues to present early
drafts of his father's stories of the first age of Middle Earth, with
commentary and footnotes. The material approaches the form it will
eventually take in The Silmarillion.
