The Children of Húrin

It’s great to have this tale from Middle-earth’s history brought together from Tolkien’s notes in a meaningful way. It is a dark and tragic tale, very different than Tolkien’s other work, and I really appreciated that aspect… but unfortunately, it’s not written in the same kind of prose as The Lord of the Rings, nor with the same kind of character development, thus only the more hard-core Tolkien fans are likely to get through it and enjoy it. It’s a great idea for a story at its heart, and it would be great to see someone take it and distill it down into film form.
