I would not say the Silmarillion is confusing...it was written in a very different form than that of LotR. Tolkien has potrayed an earlier literature style in the Silmarillion, thus creating emphasis to its time and events occuring.
But i found that reading the book more than once an effective way to deeply understand what is going on...since there is a lot of things to know, and a slight malfunction in concentration can leave u missing a very important part in the book [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
