5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of fascinating information, 16 Jul 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
My thirteen-year-old daughter has become a solid Tolkien fan, and picked up this book for further study. Organized into dictionary form, this wonderful book contains all of the information on people, places and things found in J.R.R. Tolkien's books on Middle-Earth. Do you want to know more about Elrond or the great Wizards? What about the Grey Havens or the Rings of Power? Well, it's all here!

The information is nicely organized, including translations (where necessary) and source reference. Now, the one thing I must say is that if you have not read the Silmarillion, then a good deal of the information here will not mean much to you. If you have read it, then this book will be a great resource for you. If you haven't read the Silmarillion (like my daughter), then you will still find this a treasure trove of fascinating information. My daughter and I both highly recommend this book to you!

5.0 out of 5 stars it sucks you in (a must have), 9 Jan 2003
By Jason Switzer "Breadhead" (wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Middle-earth (Paperback)
this guide has proven invaluable to me whilst reading the tolkien books.
you find yourself looking up one person or creature and then spotting another on the same page that grabs your attention.
it goes into great detail and gives an enlightened insight into tolkiens world.
until you own this book you will never realise the true genius and hard work that went into the books of tolkien. you will finally understand the loyalties, relationships and linkages of middle earth... it has everything!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great help!, 22 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Middle-earth (Paperback)
A great book for Tolkien fans! I've been reading "The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" and both are full of names, places, things and persons. This book displayes all these names from A-Z and explains a little about each one. It contains information on everything from "The Hobbit" to "The Silmarillion". This book has helped me much understanding the world better J. R. R. Tolkien created.
