I bought this book way before the MPH bookfair and had just finished reading it.This book is a part of the Lord of the Rings side-stories like The Silmarillion and The Hobbit. It was first written by J.R.R Tolkien and was completed by the son,Christopher Tolkien.
The story was set around 500 yrs before the Lord of the Rings Saga so its roughly during the time when the bad guy was Morgoth not Sauron
The hero of the story is Turin son of Hurin of the House of Hador,he is the great,great uncle of Elrond.
Read the synopsis here.
Turin is truly unlucky fellow cos most of his actions lead either to disaster or tragedy. For an instance,he unknowingly married his sister or mistakenly kills his best fren.
Anyway,all in all,it really captures the spirit of LOTR in the way that the book is written.
I give it 5 stars.
