The Childern of Hurin
This has been out awhile but for any Tolkein fans.
Title: The Childern of Hurin My wife picked this up (20% off)so I gave it a read. Well of course I've read the the previous versions but I guess Chris Tolkein has to eat(living in France must be expensive) so why not? DooM-just DooM Men,Elves,Dragons ,even the noble Petty-Dwarves.Even the Incest isn't uplifting...read this with a lot of wine people...A LOT of WINE! Turin & Family make Paris Hilton's family look normal. The man makes Elric of Melinbone look postive! Speaking of Elric a lot of people have made a living ripping off Moorcock but frankly I think old Mike just may have got Elric from Turin.If Anglachel isn't Stormbringer I'll kiss an Elf. I did like the ending,hopeless Romantic that I am & all in all depressing or not it was a good read.Returning to Middle Earth is never a bad thing(especialy with a goodly amount of wine).

RE: The Childern of Hurin
Having read the Silmarillion numerous times, I have a good background on the story. I haven't read The Children of Hurin though. Is it just an extended edition?

It does expand the story from what's given in the Silmarillion. IMO it's worth the read even though you know the background.
