The Silmarillion is really more of a mythology of Middle Earth book than a novel per se. I've read it a couple of times, but it is very much like a series of old Norse myths. If you like that style (I do), then it's pretty good, but I can see where most wouldn't like it.
Gosh, someone else actually tried to read that book? I loved the movie, but couldn't even come close to finishing the first book and didn't even bother with the others. It had none of the flavor of the movie. For that matter, I couldn't really even figure out what the plot line was suppose to be.
