Negative Positive
Title: Over-rated
Review: The Hobbit is neither a bad book nor a particularly great book. Everyone I have ever met who rabidly endorses the works of Tolkien invariably turns out to have read nothing else in the field of sword and sorcery literature. If you enjoy Tolkein's books, then well and good--but if, like me, you find his works tedious and actually rather trite, then I heartily recommend to you the novels of Michael Moorcock and Fritz Leiber.
