Crypto-Willobie: Actually Lord of the Rings IS a single book. It was written and submitted that way. The original publisher divided it into three volumes for marketing reasons. It's not a true 'trilogy' but rather a very long single novel.

aulsmith : I really hated all the allegory in what started out as a decent fantasy.
Ron18 : Lewis is ultimately a tortured soul who would do anything to convince himself that fantasy is reality, in order to make sense of the death and suffering he witnessed and experienced. Shoehorning his beliefs into the minds of the young isn't a harmless experiment to be taken lightly.
