Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Unfinished Tales
Arrived quickly. Was rated too high for the condition of the book. Good price.
Rating:  - fast shipping, but damaged goods
i was very happy with the turnaround on shipping, considering i elected to have the book shipped with amazon's free supersaver option. unfortunately, the (hardcover) book arrived with the upper right corners of both the front and back covers smooshed, as if someone dropped it from a considerable height. it is not bad enough to warrant all the hassle of trying to obtain a replacement, yet it is disappointing nonetheless.

Rating:  - Not Free SF Reader
Unfinished tales is a hodge-podge of stuff. There are bits and pieces
of lots of things, and it is not all fiction. You get notes, backstory,

really want to be a pretty hardcore Tolkien type to want to buy this,
rather than borrow to flip through. A lot of people will find it very
dull.
Rating:  - Simply breathtaking

Rating: - Best For Those Who Treasure the Silmarillion
If The Silmarillion bored you, you won't like Unfinished Tales. For those who are fascinated by the lore of Middle Earth, Unfinished Tales adds breadth and depth to one's understanding of both elves and men. Tolkien's brilliance shines like a silmaril in these tales, some of which could stand as individual works. Thanks to Christopher Tolkien for gathering these tales and making them available to the legions of his father's fans.
