Art Student Hand-Illuminates, Binds a Copy of Tolkien’s Silmarillion
German art student Benjamin Harff decided for his exam at the Academy of Arts to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. In very 21st century elvish-monk style, he hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book. (Source)

For the longest time, I refused to read this series because I felt like it was a knock off of Battle Royale. The trailers for the movie based on the books didn’t help, because they have that Twilight-y forced-and-over-dramatized-action feel to them. I eventually gave in. To my surprise, the trilogy was intense. Very violent, very dark, and far more in-depth than I would have originally given it credit for. It’s easier to forgive the overall instability and whining of the female protagonist after everything she has gone through like, oh: getting stabbed in the face, stung by poisonous insects, set on fire, shot, beat in the skull, and so on and so forth. I wish the last novel had a stronger conclusion, after all of the gore and death I sat through, but overall I’m far less disappointed in the series than I thought I would be.
