No, I have never read that book, but it's with a bit of trepidation that I think about what LOTR would be like without the intricate orchestration. I think that the attention to detail makes the stories believable, but there is never so much detail as to make it seem forced.
I'll re-ask one of my questions: Do you think that without Tolkien's genius that ME and its saga could have been so enduring? Even if you think there is an obvious answer, just post what you think! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
