How is the book? I hope it picks up more than the last 6 or 7 did. I still think the best books were the first three--the last few have been so slow and in some ways overly-detailed to a fault that they make the Silmarillion feel like easy reading (it is a very good book BTW, once you understand all of the few thousand different names, but very hard to just pick up and read).

I am re-reading all of the books right now, since I have pretty much forgotten what is happening in the story, but I plan to buy #11 once I get to that point. I sure hope it is a good book, or I may have to spank my cat (o.k., i am just kidding, I'll actually spank my wife [img]smile.gif[/img] )
