Children of Hurin

Just picked up a copy of the Children of Hurin from Book City earlier tonight-- It's been a while since I've had any time to read any fiction, and am really looking forward to this book. I only learned of it three days ago via radio, and was surprised by the low media attention that it has received-- I would imagine that following the critical hype of the LOTR films, that any new material from JRR Tolkien would be met by more attention.

Apparently not.
