This book and its trilogy are good, but I've read better books. They're not everything the Tolkien nerds make them out to be.

Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys
What's needed to be said about the book that changed fantasy as we know it? If Robert Howard was the creator of Sword and Sorcery and others before him trended on Fantasy, Tolkien took it to the main publishers and began the Golden Age of Fantasy.
