4.0 out of 5 stars
This should be a Trivia Pursuit game,
This review is from: The Tolkien Quiz Book (Paperback)
I remember buying this upon its initial publication in 1982, and astonishing my friends with my ability to answer questions with approximately a 95% rate on all of the listed topics. It was great fun. I'm not bragging, by the way, as I think it was rather sad that for five years all I did was read The Lord of the Rings over and over again, along with The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. There was much literature that I missed.
This really is a fun little book.There are general questions from the published works: The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Unfinished Tales, Smith of Wooten Major, and Farmer Giles of Ham. Then there are more specific questions, involving the history of the elves, dwarves, Numenor, Rohan, the life of Tolkien, and many others. It's a short book, but a comprehensive one. If you're a Tolkien fan of any kind, and even if you have no one with which to use this book as a form of Trivia Pursuit, you can play it with yourself to test your knowledge. As it is a short book, it certainly isn't all encompassing. Such a book would be, perhaps, as long as The Lord of the Rings itself. But its summation is excellent, and the questions well picked.
