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]).

Thanks for the info.

I also heard that it is very different in its atmosphere compared to LOTR and The simarillion. But Im probably going to pick it up soon.

I was suprised when I heard about it, because I thought all of his writing had allready been published in the Silmarillion and the book of lost tales, ect.
