"A tasty tapas to get new readers ready for the heavy-duty feasting provided by far more elaborate and lengthy books such as The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy." -- USA Today
"A bleak, darkly beautiful tale played out against the background of the First Age of Tolkien's Middle Earth . . . grand, epic storytelling and a reminder, if one was needed, of Tolkien's genius in creating an imaginary world that both reflects and deepens a sense of our own mythic past." -- Washington Post Book World
"There's plenty of lore for scholars, and plenty of dwarves and balrogs and mighty smiting for the casual fan. Just one warning: it's a dark tale with a flawed hero, full of ruinous accidents and bitter betrayals. You'll have to wait till the Third Age for a happy ending." -- Time
"THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN is the book for which [Tolkien] readers have been longing . . . A coherent, vivid and readable narrative." -- Associated Press (picked up by CNN.com, ABC News.com, Yahoo News, and other outlets)
"Tolkien fans are sure to treasure this tale. . . Deftly balancing thrilling battles with moments of introspection, Tolkien's vivid and gripping narrative reaffirms his primacy in fantasy literature." -- PublishersWeekly.com, *starred review*
"Tolkien's legions of fans shouldn't be disappointed: it's gooood! . . . The old master delivers new depth to Middle-earth lore, which, by its sheer weight, arguably is modern literature's greatest mythology. . . The book is a beauty. . . A dark and brooding yet glorious addition to the Tolkien canon. Welcome back, old friend (and bravo Christopher for bringing it to fruition!). Highly recommended." -- Library Journal, *starred review*
"Tolkien's legacy is deepened in this posthumously published tale . . . THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN is a gem -- one of Middle-earth's 'Great Tales,' as Tolkien called them, fully realized at last." -- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A full-fledged adventure yarn, complete with narrative urgency, fear of the unknown and recognizably human characters. . . THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN does not require 'Silmarillion'-grade geekery. Any midlevel Tolkien fans with an appetite for the stranger, darker corners of his realm will rapidly be caught up in the fiery saga." -- Salon.com
"Strong echoes of the Finnish epic Kalevala, the tales of Robin Hood, Homeric epic and the matter of Wagnerian opera charge the text with complexity as well as vigor. A fine addition to a deservedly well-loved body of work." -- Kirkus Reviews
