I tried reading this when I was a boy, after sweating through 'The Lord of the Rings" for the first time. I somehow contracted "African Sleeping Sickness" every time I open the book, so I cast it to the four winds and went out for little league instead.
My wife says that I'm all grown up now and can even drink out of a big glass (unless it's grape juice- then I still have to use a sipper cup), so I ordered The Silmarillion and tried again. What a joy to read more Tolkien and about the origins of Middle Earth.
I also bought the "Tolkien Companion" and I enjoyed both with the gusto and
ferver of a real nerd!
This may not be for everyone because it's not like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, but it IS Tolkien and I really enjoyed it.

I left off reading it not far into the book.
Perhaps it gets better as it goes, but it was difficult for me to get started and, rather than continuing to wade, I returned to the shore.

hard read
This book was a hard read but did give some good story line to the Lord of the Rings. Spend some time and you'll enjoy.

origins
This is a foundational book for the Tolkien fan, young and old, to fully understand and comprehend the unlying history of how Middle Earth has evolved. It is not meant to be a theology book, but a myth which will show the reader that God is the all good creator, evil exists, and good conquers evil.
