The Children of Hurin

Only Tolkien can create such epic worlds and weave such complex but intriguing narratives. The amount of detail and interlinked characters are mind boggling. All praise to Christopher Tolkien for such wonderful job of editing his fathers works and bringing to us this epic tale. Must read for all fantasy readers and hope to see movie adaptation in the future

It's a fantastic book which gives deep insights into the first age.The Children of Hurin along with Beren and Luthien and The Fall of Gondolin let's us know as to how it all started.Christopher Tolkien has done a great job in completing his father's life's work. In fact it's also his life's work too. Saddened by the news of his demise. May his soul RIP. The middle earth will be always indebted to them.

An epic fantasy from the master of fantasies, J.R.R. Tolkien. If you are intrested to know what happened before the land of shire gave us bilbo and frodo baggins this is definitely for you.

Simply put, this book is an elaboration of Chapter XXI of The Silmarillion (Of Túrin Turambar). You'll experience the woes and lamentations of Turin son of Hurin as never stated before. Personally, I can say that J.R.R.Tolkien is among the greatest authors of all time!Cheerio!

Its little sad and tragic...but never lose the beauty of JRRT's world of magic

Darkest of all Tolkein tales...And yes..It's my favorite

Great

Uma história de excelente prosa.

Wenn man das Buch noch nicht gelesen hat und man denkt man kenn Tolkien und weiß was für eine Art Buch er schreibt kann ich nur eins sagen: falsch gedacht.Dieses Buch (im Gegensatz zu seinen anderen) ist wirklich traurig.Ich bin überwältigt! Ich liebe es! Es ist so eine tolle Geschichte.Kann ich jedem echten Fan nur ans Herz legen.Zur Qualität des Buchs:für mich macht es einen guten Eindruck. Bewertungen, dass die Seiten zu dünn seien oder es chemisch rieht kann ich nicht bestätigen.Einzig würde ich mich über ein Lesebändchen freuen, dadurch wäre es noch etwas hochwertiger. Für diese Marginalität ziehe ich aber keinen Stern ab. :)
