That's my opinion as well.

Of course, I couldn't help but explode in a fiery ball of madness because it looks to me that the author hasn't even read the book. How could he/she possibly think Tolkein's characters are 'soulless?' I don't care if people dislike Tolkein after reading his works, or even dismiss Tolkein and never attempt to read his works, but it seems to me that this author has barely even skimmed anything with the name Tolkein on it and yet claims that she knows some horrible truth about it which the rest of the world apparently doesn't.

Freedom of speech is fine, but that authpr just abuses that right. I suppose it's his/her opinion that I shouldn't care, but it still makes me get all....balrogey....and stuff.
