All the things I have read about Christopher Tolkien have done anything but make me sympathetic to him. He reminds me of what happened to the estate of James Joyce, which is a very sad tale: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/01/james-joyce-public-domain.html http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/01/james-jo... I don't know whether a series like A Song of Ice and Fire could every be adapted well, but the TV show has definitely ensured that more people will read, and most important remember, the work of R. R. Martin. Whatever you may think about the artistic merit of LOTR and The Hobbit, I think Tolkien has still benefitted immensely.
