        There is nothing average about it. It’s a disgusting and vile brutalisation of the legacy of a great author.

          I feel a kind of a relief knowing we had lucked into having a legendary trilogy to compare it to, even Hobbit was on par although not as great. Not many worthy books had such a treatment. It’s understandable that we now have a high standard that Amazon’s factory can’t never meet even if it tries, and it seems like it didn’t try at all. I kinda forgot it even happened before you wrote about it. Guess, it’s the way it should go.
