Most of you probably know about this but since it wasn't posted I thought it'd be worth mentioning.

It's the new novel by Tolkien, adapted by his son Cristopher, much like in the case of "Silmarillion". I'm not really sure what to make of it, on the one hand I enjoyed "Silmarillion" and "Unfinished Tales" but I had trouble with "The History of Lord of the Rings" and a couple of similar books (plus the horrible experience of reading the works of Frank Herbert's son). Hopefully this new edition will fall into the more enjoyable category, anyway it's pretty much up the the people - is he milking it or is he carrying forth the legacy?
