If you are picking up this book you know what you are in for. The writing is slow and full of references to other events and characters that don't take place in the book - as one expects from Tolkien. However the story is interesting and a real roller-coaster. Would recommend reading the silmarillian before hand, unlike what I did, with this being the first book of Tolkien I have read. But I will end the review with a warning. This is not for the faint of heart.
it took my so many pages to realise it was his sister and that he was Turin. I mean he changed his name 1000 times
