Two and a half stars. I liked it, but it didn't blow my mind. No secrets from Tolkien or his characers are revealed in this little book, however, it was nice to read about and focus on some of the small acts of courage, or humility of characters in Lord of the Rings.

This book just really made me want to re-read LotR. The depth and intricacies of the characters, their relationships etc is spell binding.
