| Re: The Children of Hurin
Just finished reading The Children of Hurin, and I rather enjoyed it. As others have said, it's not as immediate as LOTR or The Hobbit. However, if you compare it to Tolkien's treatment of this story in one chapter of The Silmarillion, you can see what a great job Christopher Tolkien has done of finding, and linking together, his father's narrative into a story, rather than a synopsis, which is how much of the Silmarillion reads, to me at least. |
