I've only been reading Tolkien since tyhe films came out (But I difinatly pefere the books.) so a lot of the fantasy books I've read were from before I knew them and I still have my old opinions on a lot of them. But I don't compare Tolkien's works to most things becuase they are a different writer. It's okay to capare Tolkien works to other Tolkien books but if I, for exaple, compared Tolkien's works with Catherine Webb's that wouldn't work becuase she is completely different to him so she writes, and her books are in, a completly different style
