I liked Tolkien, but not enough to reread them again. I realize now that I like the movies better than the books, although I do mourn the fact that they didn’t include Tom Bombali (pretty sure I spelled his name wrong) and Goldberry. If there was ever a novel that focuses on Eowyn as main character I would so be on board to read that novel. I feel like The Lord of Rings could do better if they had focused on few characters and broke them into series of each character so I don’t get lost with all the storylines I’m supposed to follow.

However, I am glad others have come to love Tolkien. I am also fine with people not liking him. His prose is not for everyone.
