Not all that readable, alas. Much better than The Silmarillion, but there's still something about the prose here that clearly shows it was assembled from notes rather than written as a cohesive tale. I loved The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but nothing else by Tolkien has worked for me, including this one.
