New Tolkien Story To be Published

vingilot writes "CNN reports that Christopher Tolkien has edited and will release a new book by his father. From the article: 'Christopher Tolkien has spent the past 30 years working on "The Children of Hurin," an epic tale his father began in 1918 and later abandoned. Excerpts of "The Children of Hurin," which includes the elves and dwarfs of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and other works, have been published before.'"

It is the same style as used by Terry Brooks, Stephen Donaldson and most of the modern American Sci Fi/Fantasy writers.

Those aren't "modern American Sci-Fi/Fantasy writers," they're "modern American Sci-Fi/Fantasy shitty writers." There are plenty of great science fiction writers out there, writing serious science fiction (can't speak for fantasy). But if all you're looking at are the crappy pulp hacks, of course you're going to be disappointed.

As always, 90% of everything is pure shit.
