Perilous Realms: Celtic and Norse in Tolkien's Middle-Earth
Horribly disappointing. Not only does the author write about rather basic understandings of Tolkien, she also seems to almost completely miss the depth of what makes his writing amazing. While the book began as a decent discussion of the roots of Tolkien's works, Perilous Realms quickly fell to become confusingly off-topic and, at some times, simply sad. I closed the book when the author began discussing the fight between Frodo, Sam and Shelob as being a "sexual encounter." Really. Why hasn't our culture outgrown psychoanalysis (i.e. childish readings about sex) yet?
