How far into it did you get? The first 40-60 pages are really dry and tough to get through: "Bearg, son of Breon married Mirum, daughter of Hurin, son of Dorin and they live in the east of so and so, at the base of so and so, near the so and so river that ran through the region of so and so, bordering so and so to the north."
It reads more like a genealogical or geographical text the first part, but i'm on page 150 right now and it's getting pretty good. Not an epic story like LOTR, but pretty interesting, especially getting to learn more about Morgoth. I love the dark lore.
