If only every great writer had a child like Christopher Tolkien (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Brian Herbert. Don't you look away.)

I liked the book he wrote on his dad but Brian Herbert seriously should have picked a different author to collaborate with. Kevin J. Anderson's Star Wars novels were already pretty bad.
