Is anyone gonna read this new book? I think I will wait for others to read and tell me whether it's good to read. I think it's great that Tolkien's son was able to get the story compiled and coherent to release in a new format. |

I'm curious about it. The B&N newsletter this week had a coupon for it, so I think I might order it. |

I read an article about it on CNN.com. This is from the article: "The story unfolds in a region far to the west of where Frodo and Samwise would later roam, in a land destined to be swallowed by the sea in the cataclysm that would end the first age of Middle-earth. But even then, it was an ancient land, filled with legends and half-remembered histories. As the tale begins, Morgoth has destroyed a vast army of elves and men and taken one of its leaders, Hurin, prisoner. The dark lord tries to bend Hurin to his will, but the great man defies him. So Morgoth pronounces a curse on Hurin's children, Turin and his sister Nienor." |

Any appearances of Faramir and Eowyn, fighting side by side? LOL! Sounds interesting - I think I may check it out. |
