This man is like a machine. How does he manage to keep writing books when he's been dead for over 40 years? It's amazing.

This is a book board.

Do people really think this? I imagine the movies made them a bunch of money but I could be wrong.

Use a real news website, /v/tard

Also, I just learned it's actually a collection of previously published versions of the story, not a novel-length version like Children of Hurin.
Jordan Nelson
The movies made them money but they are basically ashamed of the movies because as adaptations of the novels they are pretty embarrassing. I figure Chris just wants some quality material to come out of the Tolkien estate to wash out the taste of the Hobbit trilogy.

What is happening? Did someone have glue on his forehead?
I don't remember this part
Gabriel Stewart
Christopher does a fantastic job though, so I don't really care.
Asher Turner
He's got an axe stuck in his head so it got stuck in the orc's head too when they headbutted
Yeah, it's stupid
Oliver Evans
Not stupid. You're stupid. *sniff*

Is Chris Tolkien one of the few sons who actually lives up to his father?

Huh?

WRONG

The Hobbit novel would have been better with that scene in it.

Sorry, meant to write edition

Hurin was fantastic, and Christopher went out of his way in the intro to say the successes are his fathers and the failures were his own. He only added text to link chapters and disparate sets of notes into a cohesive narrative, and I think he did so quite well.
Joseph Evans
lmao what the fuck is happening here? I don't remember this in the final movie, is it part of the director's cut or something?
