Originally posted by Memnoch: Tolkien's writing style doesn't lend itself to easy reading (kind of like Anne Rice) but his writing talents are unquestioned. I too found it difficult to read the Silmarillion (the first Tolkien book I read), then again I was about 9 at the time. Once I got to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, I was a total convert.

It wasn't the style of his books, I had just read Of Mice and Men so even Roger Red Hat would of been a master piece in my eyes. It was the part when the trolls turned to stone, come on how the hell did they make it if the turn to stone in sun light!, probably the worse speices ideal in the world ever.
