Hmmm... I think LotR is the best fantasy series because, it just is! I love the way Tolkien writes. For example, whenever I read the Ring-spell, or a description of the Nazgul, I always get chills down my spine. Tolkien does that to me. I feel things along with the characters, and at times, I feel like I've become one of them. I mistrust Boromir, fall in love with Aragorn, feel sorry for Eowyn, be inspired by Arwen, and accept a gift from Galadriel. I love the way Tolkien does that. No one else can do that to me.
