New Tolkien book: Beren and Lúthien

"Beren and Lúthien" has been released.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-40109396

"The story is about the fate of lovers Beren and Lúthien, a mortal man
and an immortal elf who together try to steal from the greatest of all
evil beings, Melkor."

I actually liked the Silmarillion a lot more than the LOTR. Tolkien is not so great with dialog anyway and I am fed up hearing about Sam. The Silmarillion is awesome.  You learn about the origin of the Dragons and Balrogs. Melkor is the father of Sauron and the real dark lord.

I'm looking forward to reading this.
