Narn i chin Hurin: the Tale of the Children of Hurin

I finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't too bad. It lacked the vast scope of "Lord of the Rings," but was certainly more readable than Silmarillion. The plot is very definitely classic tragedy, the story being similar to several Greek tales. It was a quick read and did pull you into the story.

If you are looking for a fantasy/Tolkien fix, this is a good read.
