Publisher's Summary The complete unabridged audiobook of J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion. The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. 'The Ainulindale' is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. 'The Akallabeth' recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age and 'Of the Rings of Power' tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. ©2015 The Tolkien Estate and CR Tolkien (P)2015 HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Not what I was expecting from the story.Reads more like a chapter out of Numbers or a genealogy than a the Lord of the Rings books.

Very slow and reads like the old testament but gives extensive background on LOTR universe.

This audiobook is for fans of the print edition and likely few other people. If you like it in print, you'll love this reading/listening. The Silmarillion is the mythology of the Lord of the Rings world. The content is as dry as reading the old testament and I generally would not recommend it to anyone outside of the biggest, most dedicated Tolkien nerds. For the rest of us: consider your insomnia cured. Tolkien created tons of unique languages, evolution of languages, and internally meaningful proper names. You'll encounter them all here (and I mean all. So. Many. Names.) The narration is beautiful and all of the foreign words flow from the narrator as if he were a native speaker of each of these invented tongues. There's not a single moment where the speech feels labored or forced.

I greatly enjoyed listening to this, as any Tolkien fan will. His writing is beautiful. That said, I strongly suggest reading along and/or reading a full synopsis of each story because otherwise you will get lost and confused about what’s going on. The Atlas of Middle Earth also greatly helps. I had to go back and re-listen to multiple parts to understand fullywhat had happened and appreciate fully Tolkien’s beautiful prose.The performance that Martin Shaw gives is an achievement, especially given the difficulty and dryness of the text at times. I found myself coming to tears at the various climaxes in the stories. A worthwhile listen, if you’re willing to put in the work.

Doesn't introduce characters one at a time. Too rambling at first, hard to get into it.
