ot-my mini review of Children of Hurin

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, I haven't read the book, but from what I'v read of it there seems 
to be elves, evil overlords, dragons and orcs in it, so I don't think 
that's what he meant.
