My favorite of the great tales from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, finally told in full. Christoper Tolkien did a masterful job pulling together the remnants of this truly beautiful, albeit devastating story of adventure, family, loyalty, and heartbreak. Once you've read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, I'd highly recommend reading this next if you want to feel something.

(Review 2007) Quizá la sombra del Señor de los anillos es demasiado alargada, pero aunque entretenida a veces e interesante de vez en cuando, me pareció una historia solamente apta para los más fans de Tolkien.No me acabó de atrapar. Prescindible.

I watched The Lord of the Rings movie series and I thought why not give The Children of Hurin a try. It's my first Tolkien book. The names, events, and places that are too many for me to process make the book challenging to read. Even though it felt like reading a history book, the interesting storyline and characters motivated me to keep on reading. I was captured by the tale of the children of Hurin but their tragic fate left me with a heavy heart. The Children of Hurin got me curious about what's going to happen to Morgoth and other characters. To Tolkien enthusiasts, what should I read next?
