Book Reviews of The Children of Húrin
Book Review: THE CHILDREN OF TURIN BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with the book and the conditon it was in was perfect! I will order from them again.Book Review: The Children of Hurin
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this book. As a fan of Tolkien, this book just completed the picture that was originally painted in the Silmarillion. It fleshed out the story that made it much more rich and satisfying to read. There are more personal details, and fuller accounts of events that make you feel more connected to Turin and his inescapable doom. When reading the account in the Silmarillion, I had always felt it very dark and depressing. This version has many lighter notes in it that are a relief in the tale, making it less oppressive, but still full of impact. If you have never read the Silmarillion, you will want to read it after reading this book. If you have read the Silmarillian, you will enjoy this richer account of The Children of Hurin.Book Review: Tragically interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
I just read this in a little over a week and I found myself not being able to put it down. I got lost in the introduction and the 1st chapter, but once I got into the 2nd Chapter it was like flying a plane.
I advise everyone to avoid from(or cover up) reading any chapter titles. Most of them tell you what will happen.
If you've read any of Tolkien's works, then this book is for you. I've only read Fellowship, half of Two Towers, some of the Appendices, and just started reading the Hobbit.
If you haven't read any Tolkien then find this at a bookstore and read Chapter 1 and some or all of Chapter 2 then decide for/against purchasing it. I do advise reading at least the Fellowship though.
