Lucky you! I have it.
I don't understand why people don't seem to like it because I do. Sure, the map is useless, the ring looks cheap (I used it until I broke it with some good result). But, the cards are nice and quite pretty, all drew with crayons. The images are a bit dark, in the sense that they are not colorful, they have that chalk look to it, with the feeling of rawness, and yet they are delicate as well. I have small hands, so for me the cards are hard to shuffle, but I don't really care about such details. The pretty book (hard cover) explains well the cards, but if you don't know The Lord Of The Rings, it will be harder to understand. There are a few spreads in the book but I prefer using the spreads I already use, like the Celtic Cross. Everything comes in a beautiful box.
In practice, I get good results with these cards, but it takes practice like with anything. When I first got them, I only got terrible things out of them. I thought maybe I wasn't connected to the cards, or something like that. A month later, something very bad happened to me. I understood then, looking back at my readings (I keep all my readings), that the cards simply told me the future, like any good decks would do.
I discovered later about The Lord Of The Rings Tarot, and was tempted to buy it. But when I looked at its images, and some reviews, I was not pleased at all with the tarot deck, and was comforted in my choice with the oracle deck. Lucky me, I bought it on sale at Christmas for 15$CA, but it was worth 35$CA.
I hope this helped!
EDIT:
Sorry for my English, but when I wrote "chalk look to it" I meant charcoal, pastel like crayons.
