"Master Designer of Worlds"
If you could sum up The Silmarillion, Volume 2 in three words, what would they be?Mind-bending, Enlightening, Soul-Searching
What other book might you compare The Silmarillion, Volume 2 to and why?The Bible. I believe Tolkien designed the book to mimic the Bible since he was setting up the stage of another possible realm from which we could see ourselves w/o the constraints & prejudices of orthodox religions of this world.
What does Martin Shaw bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Simply to be able to properly pronounce names & breathe breath into the characters w/o being bogged down by having to take each name by syllable. He frees the listener from the technicalities of pronunciation.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?The book drew me into another world & held me captive. My emotions followed me through every peril the characters experienced.

"Wow"
I have read this book more then ones and it is wonderful to have names and things I have no ide how to pronouns. But the one thing I discovered that was a problem was I lacked the family tree and I read the differences of the names but it is some times is hard to hear. Witch leads to my only problem whit this preferments is that the reader is not always concise about names and he dos not have a clear speech.
