LORD OF THE RINGS!!!

[Something Diabolical]

I've read Harry Potter over and over, but I don't really want to read Lord of the Rings over again.. to be honest, it wasn't the greatest writing. I don't like Tolkien's writing style. It's too long, drawn out, and complicated. That adds to the beauty in some ways, but what I admire about the books is far from the actual writing - its that Tolkien created this complex, wonderful other world that is easy to get caught up in (even if I don't like the writing).

I found that it dragged me in. He was very detailed and made me feel as if I where in the story with the people. he did make a wonderful world. I love reading about it.

I see what you're saying, it just.. mmrgh. It was like sludging through it, and I had to read for awhile before I felt immersed in it.

The first book was like that for me. The other two....not so much

[Bilbo Baggins.]

i love tolkiens writing style!! much more than rowlings. i just love classic literature and that kin of stuff for some reason.

I have never read Harry Potter. And I am not allowed. But if I ever do read them......I guess I will decide later.

I haven't posted on this in a long time lol. I don't like Harry Potter nearly as much as I do LOTR. I think Harry Potter was hard to understand

i very much agree! (although its easier to understand when you have read it multiple times ) but harry potter isnt very well written. i fully agree with you when you say you dont like it near as much as lotr. i mean, rowling is an extremely creative person, and i absolutely love the plot, but its not anywhere near as exciting and complicated as lord of the rings. its also not good literature... and the movies are rather boring. sorry thats a little off topic but i randomly rant about stuff a lot. excuse my weird quirks

There are some books I love and some I hate.....

I just have to disagree here. I think Harry Potter is very, very well written. It was hard for me to put down. It isn't as complicated as LotR, but I like the writing style so much better.
I can't wait until The Hobbit comes out!
