I think all Tolkien's writings are great to read. They all have their special kind of greatness.
Of HoME I've only read Vols I & II so far. I don't think one can blame Chris for the fact tha one feels the volumes are turgid. If that's what one feels about them, one feels that about JRRT's writings. Chris edited his father's works to the best of his abilities. I don't think Chris made the writings turgid, if that's what they are.
