QuoteSix thousand years before the Fellowship of the Ring, long before anyone had even seen a Hobbit, the elves and men of Middle-earth quaked at the power of the dark lord Morgoth.
Hunted by easterlings and orcs, they fled to the fastness of Nargothrond and to the deep forests of Brethil and Doriath. Among them, a hero emerged. Strong and courageous he was, but foolhardy and impetuous. His name was Turin, son of Hurin.

This somehow implies that Tolkiens works read similarly to Anglo-Saxon and Norse sagas, which they dont, not in the slightest.
Ill probably give it a read, but as a critic rather than a fan.
I am waiting for the third Eragon :)
