[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I don't get it, what happened to you? and yes, I believe in karma. Do good and good will come to you. Seek vengance and bad will come to you. It's basically, i was a jerk to everyone and bullied little kids, until one of them actually dies due to a brain tumor. Until one day, when the same things happened to me, minus the brain tumor, both physical and psychological bullying.
Have there actually been instances in your life when you actually believed in Karma? There was a moment in my life, when i used to be a "big bad" bully, terrorizing little children here and there, among my victims, there was Foobar his name wasn't really Foobar, though. that aside, he lived in poverty, miserable life , and to top it off, he was constantly bullied by me, until he dies, apparently, he has a brain tumor which caused his death. But, as the inconsiderate ass i am, i never really cared, i continued my evil ways until i've entered the "where-i-am-from"'s equivalent of middle school, then it just all just came back to me, i was constantly bullied for no absolute reason, then i just remembered Foobar, looked back, and thought, isn't all these just karma?
Bottom screen, the top part was just to distracting, occasionally, i had myself staring at the top screen for no reason. I fold the DS about 90 degrees just to concentrate on the bottom, the top part also acts as a shade for the bottom.
I'm considering reading this book but I would like to hear some opinions first.
Do I have to know lots about the middle earth and lord of the rings lore to understand some of the stuff going on in the book? I've watched all 3 Lord of the Rings movies but I don't know much lore or story beyond those.
Is the book better than the trilogy of the ring? (Fellowship, two towers, return of the king)
Should I read this book?

It's pretty much a compilation of The Children of Hurin shorts from the other books, Silmarillion, etc. with a few extras tossed in. You don't actually need to know much lore to understand the story, maybe the bad guy, other than that, it's a separate story from others. Wouldn't say that it's better than the LOTR Trilogy, but still worth it, it was a good read for me, but not great, considering that i've already read it countless times from other books, the story itself is rather dark and depressing. It even has a appendix at the back of the book, like the Silmarilion, for reference if you get lost in the story.
