The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two (The History of Middle-Earth, #2)

Finished at last! While I'm Tolkien/Middle Earth enthusiast, and this book is generally pretty insightful about the creation and mythology of the Elder Days, I found it a bit of a slog, honestly.
However, this book is (almost) redeeemed by the bits on the Fall of Gondolin (which is pretty compelling stuff!) and the Nauglarung (Necklace of the Dwarves.)
I'm hoping my enthusiam for the series stays high, overall; I'm diving right into Book 3 ,but if that's a slog, too, a break may be in order after that.

My mum's got the whole series of these, but then she's the biggest Tolkien geek I know! I've considered reading them myself, but no matter how much I love LotR, I'm not sure I could muster the enthusiasm for so much background.
