J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I gave this bio of J.R.R. Tolkien a 3-1/2 stars in my Reading Log. It was pretty good--though I would have liked more details on the long, drawn-out process and twists & turns of Tolkien's writing of The Lord of the Rings trilogy--and maybe more of how his son, Christopher, managed to finally finish up The Silmarillion book that Tolkien had labored over for so many years. Borrowed from the library.
