Most definitely, even if you have read about Turin in the other books available.

100% YES.
Just look at what this has done to me.

Yes, I read it through in two evenings because it was so good. I didn't want to put it down the first night...but I had to work the next day!

I went out and bought it at once (for some reason it was on sale from day 1), but I only just started reading it a few days ago.
It is alright so far, but it is not like there is anything exeptionally new about it. . . what it does is that it makes the story for Turin easier and depending on your mood more enjoyable to read. Now you don't have to read the UT and the Sil at the same time

I look at it as another piece to literature's largest jigsaw puzzle. What is infuriating is that I know the puzzle will never be complete, but like a madman I keep brooding over it.
*The Dark Elf's eyes blink rapidly and there is a slight tremor in his hand* Ummm...what were we talking about?

I don't know, you may need to read the Silmarillion to get a good idea of what's going on. That's not everybody's cup of tea but I personally love it.
