I was reading a website and I came across an article that Christopher was releasing a new book which consists of his fathers notes about Hurin and his family tree. Personally, I'm excited about it coming out since it should be out in the Spring of 2007. I'm voting yes. biggrin.gif

I never found LoTR to be really gripping or great. Sure it was good, but at some points the story simply dragged on and on. I also find that when someone finishes the work of another author, it invariably isn't as good/great as it could/would have been had the author him/herself finished it smile.gif.

"No" is my vote, though I hope to be pleasantly surprised smile.gif.

Lol, I guess you've never read WoT then. Now that has too much detail for minor things, like porcelain cups and so on. >_> But it's not like Christopher is just making things up. He's using his fathers notes to create the book. But ty for voting anyways. XD If people are going to vote no, can you say why? Raven did a good job at saying why he doesn't think it will be that good.

I'm the only person out of three to have voted no tongue.gif. Moreover, you obviously haven't read WoT almost three times completely to know exactly what you're talking about, because I have happy.gif ... I will admit that on occasion WoT gets a bit convoluted, but never boring unless you loose track of the plot smile.gif.
