Despite Tolkien's admirable efforts to preserve the meter of the poem, I think it's not particuarly easier to read than the original. Due to this some of his choices seem a bit off (I have been comparing his translation with the original). For easier comprehension, it's better to read a prose translation.

Sir Gawain's story was pretty interesting, as was Sir Orfeo's. Pearl was just . . . boring. And long.
