That was awesome!

At first I thought you were going to tell us to write it in less than 1000 words, so I thought this up in all of 5 seconds:
Big mean guy steals some jewels, ticks off the Elves, they go after him, which screws over half the world in the subsequent wars. It doesn't get resolved until the big scary god-like people come over for a visit, which screws up the world even more. The end.

Yeah, my version stank. That one above stinkin' cracked me up.

Which version, the one Noelle posted, or my pitiful attempt at one?

It's a book that's tough to read at a young age. I couldn't have handled it at 12. A few people can with no problem, but not most of us.

I'd recommend reading it again and bringing any confusion or questions to us so that we can clarify

It's an awesome book...most excellent.

Agreed. Young ages are not best for this book. I tried at around 12/13, but ended up putting it down about 4 times before I really got any great depth into it. In the end, I read The Book of Lost Tales (Volumes 1 & 2) and Unfinished Tales first, which really helped me. Most people typically find it better to do it vice versa to me though.
