I never found the tale of Beren and Luthien as mesmerising as that of the children of Hurin, or of the fall of Gondolin.
For me, the tale is more like a series of memorable highlights - eg Beren's vision of Luthien dancing, the Camlost moment. Huan is actually in some ways the most interesting character in the story.
Does anyone else find this?
The other highlight for me is the nobility of Finrod Felagund...."needing no ring to remind him of the kin of Beor".
Compare that to Turgon and the Fen of Serech. Ha.
