    This is a very sad tale about a family's destruction. Everyone dies, which is disappointing since some of the characters were quite good. Unfortunately it is over dramatized with borrowed story lines from Shakespeare. The main character, Turin, didn't have much depth either. His bad temper, stubbornness, and rash decisions brought about his ruin so it was hard to feel sorry for him. It's entertaining, but don't expect anything ground breaking.

The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades—since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977—The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.
