Mirkwood: A novel about JRR Tolkien

I had really high hopes for this book. I love Lord of the Rings and the think Tolkien a master.
The PR blurb says this is a novel about Tolkien and his world being real.
Well I found this story very boring. It was disjointed and in need of some editing that even I could pick up on.
I really got confused with where the author was trying to take us.
I heard the Tolkien Estate wanted to ban this self published work...well I think that will just drive people to want to read it and then be disappointed.
I can not recommend this to anyone
