After 30 years, Christopher Tolkien has finally finished his father's story, - I hope it's not as dry as The Silmarillion, that was really heavy going.. forums: |

It looks like its going to be a more detailed part of part of the silmarillion, just as The Hobbit, LoTR and (to some extent) The Lays of Beleriand were...
Hmmm. I am always somewhat doubtful when someone finishes an author's work posthumously. I guess it will remain to be seen...but then that is what libraries are for. I like to try before I buy.
I might take a look at it, but i wouldn't buy it unless it is truly spectacular...
Depending on what else is around at xmas, I'll probably get it from the library (like Lays of Beleriand- sorta glad that I didn't buy that one).
there's more info here..
