I want to experience the emotions with the characters rather than just hearing about them.
Perhaps it isn't Christopher's doing, but I think I would prefer this story to be written more like a story and less like a history lesson, mainly cause it presents itself like it should be a story, and I think taking a little bit of slack and adding the dialogue and such would improve it drastically. I did wonder what it would be like if it was made into a film... too much would be changed but since it is so vague at times, it almost allows that change.

LOL...That's part of the intrigue about Tolkien's ME history and his unfinished tales--yeah, they would make great movies, but it's almost like Tolkien is tempting someone to continue writing the story for themselves. His death just came too soon.
