Review: THE CHILDREN OF HURIN by JRR Tolkein

This is one of the "lost works" that has been painstakingly recreated from Tolkein's notes by his son Christopher. It's also very formal and full of elvish names; this is hardcore Tolkein, and not the place a beginner should start.

I heard the audiobook, and the absolute best thing about it was Christopher Lee's reading. He's been both an actor and a major fan of Tolkein's since long before I was born, and his deep British voice is perfectly suited to this.

There isn't much better than Christopher Lee reading JRR Tolkein. As an audiobook at least, I recommend it.
