I have a question:
Does Sauron and/or Morgoth appear in person in the story? That would be very interesting though I would be wary of it.

Sauron shouldn't, because he's dealt with in the Tale of Beren and Luthian - he captures Beren, but is defeated by Luthian and Huan, and doesn't seem to play much of a part for the rest of the First Age.
Morgoth will definately be an overarching presence, but unless we get scene's from Hurin's point of view (and from what I've heard that's doubtful) we shouldn't see Morgoth either.

So, Morgoth but no Sauron?
Surprisingly, all I have heard is excellent things about this book. I figured most people would trash it hard just on principle.
I'd like it if they would eventually do a Beren and Luthien book like this.

Apparently, there's not as much material on Beren and Luthian (or Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin for that matter) to do a complete book based on them

I haven't come across Sauron yet. It's a fun, if a little slow read.

I'd actually like to see a Beren and Luthien movie, I think it would be great.
IIRC from the Silmarillion, Sauron plays no role in theis story.
And I bought the book, haven't had a chance ot start reading though. Love the illustrations, though.

Which story? Beren and Lúthien or Children of Húrin?
Because Sauron has a very important cameo in the story of the Lay of Leithian, although I don't think he features at all in Narn I Hîn Húrin

A very embarassing cameo more like it.

I finally started reading the book. It's ok, but the ballad in Lays of Beleriand is much better, imo.

You may be right in a way, but the form of a novel is much easier to read that an epic poem.

Is there a B&N near you? They usually have better stock than Borders.
