While the author of this work does not offer a better book, he says LORD OF THE RINGS is not it. But what does this fellow think of Tolkien's masterpiece, and of those who despise it? Read the article at http://www.salonmag.com/books/featur...ien/index.htmlSalon.</a>

I found it a fairly good look at this great book, and an informed view of the criticism that surrounds it.

EDIT: I don't know how the HTML page break got in there. It's gone now! The link should work.
