Too much racism (e.g., fear of the "black men" etc., no POC heroes). Also, too much sexism (e.g., the story of Éowyn, which was made much for feminist for the screen). But, of course, an amazing adventure in a world that ignites my imagination. I wish it could be rewritten to not be racist and sexist.

Tolkien inspires me an unreasonable amount, and I like the long descriptions for some reason

I’m going to star over and compare it to the films.

Read this aloud for the nth time with my sisters and cousins. It really never gets old.
