A review by xavierdebecker
Beren and Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien

3.75

A really interesting case study of the evolution of Tolkien's tale, particularly if you love the creative process of storytelling, poetry and the world of Lord of the Rings. This book includes the first version of the story and subsequent iterations, complete with commentary from Christopher Tolkien about the history. It won't be for everyone (especially the parts written in rhyme scheme), but boy, did I enjoy picking apart and comparing the differences.
