Tolkien: Style or Substance?
This is a topic that has been bothering me for some time: what makes Tolkien so popular? Is it because his writing style is exceptional or because of the stories themselves? Or is it both?
I personally don't find Tolkien's style all that (that sounds almost like blasphemy on the Moot  ) but, seriously, I only find some passages to be extremely well written (and of course the poetry) but for the rest of his work...the style seems ordinary. What do you guys think? |
