the Silmarillion is a collection of stories. Its not one book with one tale. Its unfortunate some people can't enjoy a story unless there are 15000 pages to fill in all the blanks for you. The stories in the Silmarillion are great , far better and many more tales than the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit . You get 10 or so good stories in the 500 pages instead of 15000 to tell one tale.Yes , you do need to have an imagination to enjoy them. There is far more creativity in that book (Silmarillian) than any other Tolkien book (I've read them all , even the most obscure).
