  1. One thing I've noticed about this series, the scenarios and journeys are completely different, but the writing style never changes. This is probably the reason that I love these books. His excessive use of detail--that some would find monotonous--is very appealing to me. It adds that much more depth to each character and each scenario. His increasing use of psychological themes is also appealing.

    1. what sort of psychological themes does he use to make it more appealing? If you can, I would appreciate an example.

  2. So you have read all the Tolkien books except for the Return of the King? Now that you have can you compare Tolkien's version of Elves to other authors? I believe that Tolkien was the first author to write about Elves but correct me if I'm wrong?

  3. I've heard, and when reading The Hobbit have felt, that Tolkien is very... Wordy. Would you say, now that you've read a lot of his work, that this is the case? Specifically it's said that he takes detail to the next level sometimes, unnecessarily so.
