Review of 'The Lost Road (History of Middle-Earth)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Read "The Lost Road" section for a a course at The Mythgard Institute. It was good, but I'm always a little put off by Christopher Tolkien's commentary and notes. Christopher gets a little hard to follow when he starts talking about variations in different manuscripts. Definitely will take some additional reading.

I look forward to reading other sections, in particular the Etymologies, but will likely need to put them off until I have more Time.
