The co-writer did a terrible job and this book makes everyone look bad, especially Sean. It sounds like he was talking to his shrink for most of it, and not in a juicy way. There were a few good on-set stories and snippets, that's the only reason I finished it. It would have been 1 star except I learned that the original ending for the Fellowship had Sam and Frodo paddling across the river and Uruk-Hai jumping out of the water(?!) to attack them!
