I'll try to be brief! the first time I opened this book, I gave up after ten pages: too many characters, often we hear most talked afterwards, but it impossible to know without forcing yourself to move forward . I resumed a few months later, eager to let a second chance JRR and his son! well, spent the first genealogy pages, confusing enough, we finally enters the history of Turin, the central character of this legend. And here we find a world of dark Tolkien, serious but so beautiful. I devoured the rest of the book. Admittedly, it is sometimes less fluid, but it's just that the poor Christopher Tolkien is not his father! and when it comes to piecing together parts of the story is a bit winded. For fans of Tolkien, you will still not disappointed or surprised! to read by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and why not poison pipe Hobbits!
