I loved that book! It's been a couple of years since I read it. But the detail and the style in which it was written is absorbing. I've recently bought Unfinished Tales and can't wait to getting round to reading it. I think my favourite story was the one of Turin. I thought at the end when he spoke to his sword, asking to kill him swiftly was so imaginative. It wouldn't work for any other author but for Tolkien it works brilliantly. As you can see from my sig. and forum name, I'm somewhat of a Tolkien fan.
