New Fiction on the New York Times Best Sellers List (5/6/07)

by Mazie

Years after he died in 1973, J.R.R. Tolkien is on top of the List with The Children of Hurin. His legions of fans celebrated the return of the Elves in this prequel (thousands of years before Frodo) to Middle Earth. Tolkien's elderly son Christopher has worked on this labor of love for the last thirty years, cobbling together subplots and notes that his father left behind. For some critics this new tragic epic is a well-crafted and coherent addition to the canon and for others it is an impenetrable and boring volume.

The other new titles are: The Woods by Harlan Coben, The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith, and The Blue Zone by Andrew Gross.
