by J.R.R. Tolkien

Agreed. You can't criticize a collection of notes published posthumously as though it was supposed to be a bit of summer reading. The story itself, if you are willing to follow its diverse threads woven throughout the collection of stories is actually quite amazing and grand and beautiful. But to criticize it as though there was some cynical attempt by the author or publisher to muddy the definition of "literature" is simply unfair. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58713466 to: Unfinished Tales (Hardcover) by J.R.R.
