What made you love the books so much? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I loved the sheer detail. Some of my friends said it was difficult reading the first few chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring becuase of all the detail, but I have always relished that. No other fantasy book I have read has conveyed the idea that the author believed in the world he wrote about. That is what gives the LOTR such depth and realism. It's so rich with detail and culture that sometimes I half-wonder if Middle Earth exists in another dimension that Tolkien had the opportunity to travel to. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
