Ring Tolkiens Ring

Hi
I was just wondering if anyone else has read the Book “Tolkiens Ring” By David Day.
In the book David Day tries through “literary detective work” to look into Tolkiens mind and find the sources of inspiration for the novels. The book also explains “The Ring has been an ever present symbol in world mythologies and religions”.
David retells many old stories’, which have a Ring as a central source of power.

The Book also has some great illustrations by Alan Lee.

If anyone has read the book, what were your thoughts on it.
