I've just read through the first few pages and I think maybe he's preaching to the choir with me. However, I have a very good friend who shies away from LOTR even though I've tried to tell her it's "ok" and even our church librarian has told her it's a good book. I'm thinking of lending her this book. The "shallowness" of this book may be just enough to hook her. I would love to be able to talk to her about it, but as it is I feel uncomfortable even bringing it up.

Very good idea. I have a feeling that may have been part of the rationale behind that book being written. There is a lot of confusion out there about why LOTR is different from your run-of-the-mill fantasy fare...
