| Re: Difference between Tolkien and the 'modern Fantasy' authors?
I think that one of the few faults with LOTR is that it's too short
This is one of Tolkein's regrets too
As for number of books relased , it seems to me that whereas many authors spend a relatively short amount of time on each novel , LOTR was the accomplishment of a many , many years - which I guess also helps to explain why LOTR is better than many other modern day fantasy |
