[sarasaraseda]

I believe this is his new novel which was just published..

J.R.R. tolkein has had a few posthumously published novels, which were put together by his son, but I was wondering if anyone had read this new one, or heard anything about it?

Thanks.

I have the book - plan on reading it this weekend!

I saw a 'review' in USA Today - the reviewer gave it a hearty recommendation.

It will be interesting to see how Tolkien's son, Christopher, has managed to piece this together and whether it fits/meshes well with the 'canonical' texts (esp. the Silmarillion [which may or may not be 'canonical' - depending on your pov]).
