I'd be excited if it were anything but Túrin. Sadly, since it is, I don't know if I'm even going to be able to bring myself to read the thing. I'm really bummed because I never expected a new almost-Tolkien book, and I doubt that C. Tolkien will do anything more, given his age, so this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But *groan* Túrin! The one Tolkien story I absolutely can't STAND!  |

Being a big Alan Lee fan (see my avvy) I'm hoping the illustrations will be new works, if so I'll have to buy it just for those, if not the story!
