I am so thankful for Zach and Logan’s fellowship along the journey of returning to The Lord of the Rings once again.
I saw the Lord of the Rings movies in theaters when they were first out, but I had never read the book until now. With Zach and Logan as my guides, I am learning much about the story and Tolkien!

My review title isn’t hyperbole! As a lifelong fan I appreciate their contextual knowledge from the Silmarillion, Tolkien’s biography and commentary, and secondary scholarship.
