He didn't ghostwrite that, his name is on it. He also worked closely with Harriet, and had access to Robert's notes including whole sections already written. See also Brian Henson making Muppet Christmas Carol and Treasure Island, or Christopher Tolkien publishing supplements to the Silmarillion. Care, authorship, and intimacy abound. Not slop.

Compare with "New Hardy Boys" or the Dune prequels (which may have Brian Herbert's name on the cover but was clearly ghostwritten in large part). Slop.

The Pope rules for life. If they elect a bad one and he's seventy, oh well, won't be long. If he's thirty.... that's two generations growing up under a bad Pope.
