New Tolkien Book Released 'The Children of Hurin'
Zoolander writes "Christopher Tolkien has completed the last book of J.R.R. Tolkien from notes left from his father." The ultimate question is how much of a quality difference will there be; for instance the difference between Dune and Dune: House Atriedes is a pretty big gap.

"You see this ring, kid? It was your father's ring. He had to wear it up his ass during the entire war of Middle Earth. Hundreds of leagues he travelled with this ring up his ass. And now it's yours."
Judging the book by its cover, the book will involve a guy who climbs a hill faster than some other guys who also are climbing that hill. Then, he will look at something. Maybe he will tell us about what he sees. Sounds thrilling!
No, the anonymous D&D quest is much lower in quality than the actual LotR.
