lol, what book is being adapted here?
Loosely, you could say The Silmarillion.
Personally, I don't believe that's predominantly J.R.R.'s work. I think his son Christopher, and another writer named Guy Gavriel Kay, wrote most of it (perhaps based on notes left by J.R.R., maybe) and passed it off as official LotR material.
Yeah, that's what happened. Guy Gavriel Kay is awesome. I highly recommend "Tigana," "Lions of al-Rassan," "The Sarantine Mosiac," and more.
Tigana is cool. I picked it up at a library sale for 50c because the cover was bizarre and intriguing. That was what put Kay on my radar, and caused me to notice how incredibly similar his writings were to J.R.R. Tolkein's supposed 'found' works and notes.
At the same sale, I picked up for similar reasons of neat cover, a book by the Watership Down guy, and hoo nelly, that book did not go as well. Who knew the bunny guy was so into rape-slaves?
