Like X said earlier on, I would have liked better perhaps a bit more history. And also, man, he left so much stuff unanswered. Okay, I know, he couldn't help DYING, but you get what I mean. Hah.

I enjoy most of songs and poems, myself. And I enjoyed the beginning as well. The only thing was before the beginning. When I was pretty young, I picked up LotR and started reading it. I assumed that you were supposed to read the preface, so I began reading "Of Pipeweed." I know it's no one's fault but my own for turning away from it because of disliking that, I think perhaps some of the things like that are a bit boring.. whereas opposed to the kind of history you find in the Silmarillion is exciting. Picky, I know, and not too smart as well.

But other than my little complaints, I see pretty much no flaws.
