Review: The Children of Húrin

The Children of Húrin The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fair book that does not compare well with the Hobbit or LotR. So if you are looking for that level of Tolkien story-telling, this book will be a bit of a disappointment.

It presents a couple of good stories that contain an excess amount of exposition. It also presents some story fragments that were clearly not previously published for good reason.

A good book for hard core Tolkien fans. Not so good for a casual reader expecting a fully developed story.
