   Is the Silmarillion Tolkien's best book?

   • So yeah, on the whole, I’d say that The Silmarillion definitely isn’t Tolkien’s best. It may have helped him flesh out his world, but it is not written as an engaging story that you can submerse yourself in. I would really only recommend it to fellow Tolkien fans who have already read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

   Is the Silmarillion a good book?

   • It's been compared to a textbook, and for good reason: Tolkien was notoriously meticulous about his use of language and geography, and as a result, parts of The Silmarillion can read a bit like an ancient history book, albeit one with glowing trees and werewolves and giant spiders. I zoned out before I even got to the good stuff.

   Is the Silmarillion a 'work'?

   • It is however in his view "immensely problematic" as it is not a "work" as usually understood: "The Silmarillion" (in roman) is the enormous corpus of documents and drafts that J. R. R. Tolkien built up throughout his creative life, while " The Silmarillion " (in italics) is the 1977 book that Christopher Tolkien edited.

    Mar 12, 2021 · The original books of Middle-earth wisely incorporate stories from the past into the narrative. But as a direct source of Arda's history, The Silmarillion is unmatched. The Amazon series might be entertaining and depict the Second Age well, but picking up the book is the best way to see Middle-earth as Tolkien truly intended.
