What? The movies aren't abridged enough? Why not discover the beauty of a real work of literature by actually reading it? Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is moving and entertainingn on its own. Why let weak prose butcher literature with overly simplistic, inaccurate, and didactic notes?
Disgusting travesty! 2003-11-20
The Lord of The Rings is NOT a text-book! It is a book that should be read with love, joy and wonderment, not EXPLAINED with notes and NOT set as a text so generations of children will associate it with drudgery, compulsion and class-rooms. This is an act of cultural vandalism and barbarism by idiot teachers and rip-off merchants who have no feeling for literature, joy or the sponanious enjoyment of a great tale!
Why Not Actually Read the Books?

Tolkien's books are brilliant. Why read cheat sheets? You can just enjoy the fantastic majesty of his novels.
A review of the notes not the book. 
2000-11-06
The first thing J.R.R. Tolkien says is that this is not parity or an allegory. He emphasizes that this has no relation to the war or any particular place.
The First thing that Barron's notes does is say the ring is like the atomic bomb. And the land influences the landscape after the war.
Some of the things in the book are useful for pointing out what is assumed you already know about; like shadows are bad and stars are good. As for the story it is just the bare bones with no meat. If you read this first you would be discouraged form reading the book thinking it was long and dry.
