J. R. R. Tolkien 5 Book Set (Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion) – MM/Good

The writing in this novel is crisp and every word seems to matter.

What I like is that the book is illustrated without overwhelming the text.

This novel takes a familiar premise and makes it feel brand new.

You will find that this novel has a quiet power that sneaks up on you.

The illustrated glossary at the back is both helpful and pretty.

This activity book has a section where you decode ancient symbols.

A nice touch is the illustrated half-title page with a hidden clue.

I picked this up because the illustrated spine looked so inviting.

You will find that the illustrated timeline helps track events.

A nice touch is how this novel uses food as a memory trigger.
