I bought it a few days after its release and was stunned. It caught my attention and never let go. An Amazing book. It is a hard book to read though like most ok Tolkiens books, but if you can handle it then read it, Its worth it!Brasilhttp://pinkcheck.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-18171474030778802782008-09-04T16:16:00.000-05:002008-09-04T16:16:00.000-05:00Hi, AngYeah, I so with the Professor had finished ...Hi, Ang<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I so with the Professor had finished a dozen more books.

I was very excited when this book first came out, so I could learn more about Turin whom's story I loved in the Silmarillion. I wish Tolkien could have been around to finish it, but alas he was such a perfectionist it may never have been published!<BR/><BR/>I am reading your first book "The Door Within" and LOVE it! My 14 yr old son read it first and loved it to. He told me to read it. Now I just need to catch up with you and get the rest of your books!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949359524051684321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-29136956684664061112007-05-17T17:33:00.000-05:002007-05-17T17:33:00.000-05:00I had read the Silmarillion (sp???) a few years ag...I had read the Silmarillion (sp???) a few years ago and this story was in it.<BR/><BR/>I felt that Turin's story was gut wrenching and I have not had the heart to go back and read it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the review, though.chrisdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662811240806616921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-10346373900458423452007-05-16T11:35:00.000-05:002007-05-16T11:35:00.000-05:00The book was really good.

Of course, I could just pop in my special edition Fellowship of the Ring DVD. See, although I've not read it, I absolutely adore the movies, saw each in the theater and bought the DVDs plus two of the super duper extended editions. I've even watched most of the bonus features. I'm a Tolkien nerd without knowing it. LOL!<BR/><BR/>I hope Peter Jackson doen't get booted off the project. It was his vision that set off the whole phenomenon again and possibly made it more popular than ever, definitely accessing a much wider audience. He was a huge part of these films even being made.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - I digress.Amy Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980921368244489071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-91914836777733493572007-05-12T20:31:00.000-05:002007-05-12T20:31:00.000-05:00I'm glad that I didn't have time for this read, if...I'm glad that I didn't have time for this read, if I'm picking up on the cues in Rise of the Dibor, I'm going to be sad enough this Summer.

Well written, well crafted, well developed, and a well told story, yet very sad and depressing.<BR/><BR/>I just went out and got The Hobbit and am promised it's a much lighter story.
