The Children of Húrin 266 reviews
J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2007
Great Story + Great Voice Acting = Great Audio Book!
+ Tragically interesting
+ Less Fantasy, More Classic Tragedy

I still remember the first copy I ever read of this book. And then in the 6th grade I won as a prize the copy I now have. This is probably one of the greatest fantasies ever written. It existentialist, scientific, and downright practical sweet all in the same stroke of a pen. Not only that, but ...

It is the story of Clare and Henry. He meets her as a ...
