" Really good book. The only bad part was the ending. Christopher Tolkien probably wrote it. :) "
-




Tori | 2/10/2014
" A good gateway into reading The Silmarillion. A sad tale about fate that is reminiscent of the tragic heroes of Greek and Roman myth. "
-




Kailey | 1/18/2014
" Sad tale, but heart warming in bits as well. "
-




Jean | 1/17/2014
" This book is really depressing. Not at all like the usual Tolkien stories of hope at the end of all those leagues the characters must travel on horseback. "
-




Richard Inman | 1/17/2014
" A great story of how pride and fate can overcome a man. "
-




Bryce Lowry | 12/20/2013
" This book mystifies me. Tolkien wrote it perfectly. As a master of languages, both old and (very) new, Tolkien was able to create a novel that feels like it comes from a long ago era. Rife with tragedy and struggling heroes, this is a book that won't fail to deliver powerful emotional impact as you read it. "

Sparrow | 12/1/2013
" I liked this. It was a good tale and I liked the different personalities of the elves. "
-




Jacob | 11/18/2013
" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, I am biased toward all of J.R.R. Tolkien's works. The syntax is a bit tricky at first, and the way the story is told is dry, in spite of these reservations I would recommend the book. "

Katie | 10/9/2013
" I'm glad I read it, as another window into Tolkien's world. However, it was terribly depressing and I don't think I'll be reading it again. It depicted a world without a benevolent God in which a man's fate is shaped by a malevolent deity. "

Brian Sterzer | 8/7/2013
" Couldn't get into it. Might be better further on, but I finally put it down. "
-




Adrian | 7/5/2013
" All I can say is that it would be a favorable thing to remember... "
-




Emily | 10/13/2012
" Tolkien has always been a good author, but he's good for more things than just the Lord of the Rings. This book was abolutely genius!:) "
-




Linda Owens | 8/31/2012
" If you're a fan, you're a fan of all things Tolkien. "
-




Mom | 5/22/2012
" The story is really a sad one because of the dragon's curse. It is worth reading because of all the references made about Hurin in The Lord of the Rings. "
-




Proser | 4/14/2012
" not bad very similar to the silmarillion "
-




Veronika Walker | 1/3/2012
" INCREDIBLE. Actually better than Lord of the Rings? "
-




Bronwyn | 12/15/2011
" Didn't add much to the better classic novels. "
-




Casey | 11/15/2011
" Um... I listened to this via audiobook read by Christopher Lee. So, I'd say it was pretty okay. "
-




Brandon Cochran | 11/8/2011
" Probably one of the lesser-known Tolkien classics, this book definitely belongs right up there with The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I absolutely loved this story! "
-




Lenora | 9/20/2011
" This book was exactly what I needed right now. Dear Tolkien again you have saved my heart and my mind from itself "
-




Sue Silverman | 8/1/2011
" I liked this book a lot, but I'm into the history of the Eldar and Edain. If you know what I'm talking about there, then you should probably read this, but if you don't, then you should probably stay away. "
-




Frederik | 5/27/2011
" Hearthbrakingly beautiful! Passion, tragedy, loss,... it's all here. Yet beware! You should have read (and liked) the Silmarillion to fully grasp the depth of this tragedy. "
-




Krystyna | 5/23/2011
" Like the plot, but DAMN Tolkien, stop giving your characters fifteen names in one novel!
"
-




Farhana | 5/19/2011
" Wonderful read!
There wasn't as much detail/character development as I would have liked, but overall I enjoyed the story.
"
-




S. | 5/11/2011
" Not bad. Had I read this in a vacuum, I probably would have liked it less than I do. But as filler for Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fans, it is entertaining.
"
-




Aaron | 5/5/2011
" Hard read but very good.
"
-




Eric | 4/25/2011
" I wasn't overly impressed with this book. I had a hard time following it due to the way it was written and the name changes for the main character helped to keep me confused also.
"

Buqet | 4/24/2011
" Sonu yüzündendir ki genelde kimse begenmez ama bence ne kadar ''happy ending'' sevsem de bazen bu tür sonlar en iyi seçenektir. Bende bu yüzden bu kitabi ayri bir severim. Huri'nin çocuklari , harika bir hikaye bize sunuyor.

Sophie710 | 4/10/2011
" This is good, but the ending was a bit sudden.
"
-




Sean | 3/18/2011
" Awesome story. Minus 1 star for being one of the most depressing things I've ever read.
"
-




Andrea | 3/17/2011
" Quite dark, no happy ending to this one. I was expecting something with a much happier ending, akin to LOTR, but it was not to be.
"

Cyrus | 3/14/2011
" Good. But its written like the bible so its kind of hard to understand.
