Tolkien over others

[Beleg]

I've read few books and at first I think it's the style (and the spirit) that I disliked. Knowing that Tolkien's work is a work of an entire life, when you compare the writings of author who edit three books a year, you can understand that the style is different.

I haven't finished the Sovereign Stone Trilogy by Weiss and Hickman. It's entertaining, but I'm not fond of it. The descriptions are concise and there is no emotion when I read the books. I think Tolkien's work is epic because you feel that you're in Middle-Earth. He was never satisfied of his works, all the time editing the texts. He put his spirit in his books, and you feel it, everything is so well made and weaved that you believe in what is happening in the story.

I've never read Eddings' stuff. A friend of mine has quite a load of books from this author, but I never wanted to read them.
I have enough to read with Tolkien, because when I finish a book, I just want to start it again (for lot of reasons, one of them is that I've already forgotten lot of stuff). For the Sovereign Stone Trilogy, nothing to remember, the plot is ok but...

Only Tolkien did it: tell a story from the beginning, from the creation of his own world. A book, even as massive as the Farseer Trilogy, is far less interesting. There is nothing to study in it. Tolkien's work is admirable for that, there is always something to discover because it is a real mythology he created, and a world based on that can only be credible.
