What does /lit/ think of Lotr?

creative and imaginative children's literature

>>8064325
no discernible talent, clearly a juvenile author.

avoid.

it's good

Not half as good as A Song of Ice and Fire.
Tolkien made the dough and GRRM baked it to perfection.

She was sopping wet when he entered her. “Damn you,” she said. “Damn you damn you damn you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her cunt became the world.

This thread was made for the sole purpose of watching autistic "patricians" shit all over the books while baited Tolkien fans come to his defense.

for people between the age of 13 and 17

Nice aesthetic.

It's especially nice if you're European and enjoy middleage folklore and sagas

i love it, it got me into reading as a child and i reread it every decade. there is no way i could be objective about it, but to me the writing seems fine, in a relatively simple but sincere old fashioned way. it's a beautiful, richly imagined story and a genuine fucking treasure.
