Personally I can't wait to read it!

Looks interesting as I am a fan of LOTR and The Hobbit, I am a little wary though because I tried to read the Silmarillion and just could not follow. That said I will probably give it a try.

[The Ninth Doctor]

It's easier to follow than the Silmarillion. But I'd still give Sil another try- its easier on the second try, in my experience.
