For those of you who are Tolkien fans and know anything about "The Children of Hurin" you might find this interesting:

Seems Christopher Tolkien, the son of J.R.R. Tolkien has finished the book after more than 30 years.

I wonder if it will be noticable where J.R.R. left off and Christopher took over.
"And then, the elves went to Riverdell. And then, they walked past...."

Heh, I meant Rivendell...obviously. ;)
They should have just released only what JRR Tolkien had written, so that the book stops midsentence.

Was it just me,or was the style drastically different towards the end of The Silmarillion?

I didn't read it, sorry. But I did read "The Man with the Golden Gun" which has been rumored to be finished by someone other than Ian Fleming after he died...and it shows.

I'm hoping this one won't have that problem, but I can easily see how it could.
