Here is the review. www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/Children-of-Hurin-FAQ.htm There for the FAQ about the book. This book was published on 17 April 2007, by HarperCollins in the United Kingdom and by Houghton Mifflin in the United States. Alan Lee, illustrator of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings created the painting on the jacket as well as the illustrations throughout the book. The story deals with a hero of the First Age, Húrin, of the race of Men, who is cursed by the Dark Lord Morgoth, and the effect this curse has on his children Túrin Turambar and Nienor. The Children of Húrin takes the reader back to a time long before The Lord of the Rings, in an area of Middle-earth that was to be drowned before Hobbits appeared, and when the great enemy was still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauron was only Morgoth's lieutenant. This heroic romance is the tale of the Man, Húrin, who dared to defy Morgoth's force of evil, and his family's tragic destiny, as it follows his son Túrin Turambar's travels through the lost world of Beleriand... —The Tolkien Estate This book was published on 17 April 2007,[1][2] by HarperCollins in the United Kingdom and by Houghton Mifflin in the United States.

Hopefully you got it yesterday as well! ;D I got the hardcover, so it is VERY nice! I haven't touched a Tolkien book since I started to read The Hobbit, but I have to get back to that because I never did finish...

That's good! And you can always order the book on Amazon...I imagine it'd be a lot cheaper than getting it at a regular bookstore.

... I got a 'poncho' (a blanket with buttons), socks, a bottle of lotion, & a skillet. That was the extent of my Christmas lmao. I did, however, find said book at the library. YAY! It was one of the few I'd never read. I was actually reading it just a little while ago!

Really? How is it? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! ;D I can't start it until I get caught up with my other books...I just have too many that I've started and haven't finished. I don't want that to happen again with this.

But I'd want to finish the Silmarillion first Good luck with that. I've started reading it at least 3 times and I've never finished it. It's way tougher than any textbook I've ever seen!! You seriously have to take notes while reading it or else you'll forget who everyone is by the second page!!
