I found that the books were very believable beacause there was so much detail, mapping out middle earth as an existing place. The characters themselves are realistic enough, they have backgrounds, families, thoughts, feelings. There's no reason for me not to think of them as believable. A lot of characters are written in an entirely two-dimensional way, but I think Tolkien managed to effectively give his characters more presence.
