why do people dislike lord of the rings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was hesitant to read LotR not because I didn't like it, but because I knew I would. It's so easy to fall in love with; my friends and my sister already had. I have many different interests, and wasn't ready to surrender to just one.

When I was ready, I plunged in. Boy am I glad I did! Right now, my time is divided between reading Tolkien, posting on this site, writing fantasy (NOT fan fiction, which I strongly dislike,) I occasionally actually studying in order to improve my writing skills. Pure bliss!

The moral: Encourage antiLotR people to read Tolkien, don't condemn them. Make THEM think about why they don't like it, and then CONVINCE THEM THEY HAVE TO BE CRAZY NOT TO!!!
