Hurin Marketed As Book For Kids - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I had an e-mail from Amazon a few minutes ago that pointed me to this page and what is on there but a trailer for Children of Hurin! Now the trailer was very nice indeed so I'm not gripin', but ought this to be marketed as a book for children?

Would children be disturbed by it? Would they understand it? Would they even enjoy it? I don't doubt bright teenagers would find it a fabulous read, but children?

Do you, as an adult, find it insulting or are you not bovvered?
