I tried reading the lasted offcering from J.R.R. Tolkien thanks to Christopher Tolkien's publishing of his father's notes. It's just dry and boring as all can be. I didn't even get past chapter 1 as I skimmed it and it's more like a reference book then a novel. Glad I got it from the library. I do not understand how it could have been a best seller it's that bad.
