...fans of this deeply Catholic author may be surprised by its biblical tone...I'm not seeing any real fans of Tolkien being surprised by this. Maybe idiots who only saw the movies and couldn't grasp the concept of good vs. evil.

I read The Silmarillion a couple of years ago. How is this book different? More detailed?

END OF SPOILER WARNING
I wish the authors of these articles would not spoil the book!!!!! As bad as spoiling a movie — more so, because it takes longer to read a book!!!!
Ugh. Need coffee. Need fed.

Back when the filming of the LOTR had only been announced , quite a few folks in alt.fan.tolkien. and rec.arts.tolkien suggested that the story of Turin might make a better movie -possibly as a made for TV miniseries. I wonder if that will now happen?

It sounds like a most interesting book. I look forward to reading it.

Why is there some attempt to link Tolkien's writings with Christianity?
The [King] of the Rings wasn't about Christianity, and neither (probably) is this.
