I view the new book as copyright infringement. I say that as someone who holds two copyrights and has also written fanfiction!
I'm a bit stunned it got published at all.
We all build on what came before us but seriously that is outright theft. It would be akin to someone writing a follow up to Gone With the Wind, while Mitchell was alive. It's ludicrous; a transformative criticism, my butt.
