He wrote them all in a rush of two of the most stressful years of his life. I suspect they were an escape for him, which is why they touched the ones who he touched. The world creation is definitely haphazard. :-) I love the pretty design all these nesting comments make. :-)

I don't mean to disparage Lewis altogether. Just his crappy books. I find the fact that he regarded them as anything other than allegory fascinating/disturbing. Surely he was aware of how paper-thin his story was! It certainly disgusted Tolkien, who was most definitely NOT fond of allegories. Meh. I don’t mean to disparage Lewis altogether.

I've read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings a bunch when I was younger, starting in 4th grade. I don't think I've read them since about 8th grade, so they are definitely due for a re-reading. :-) And of course, I need to read the other books! I loved V for Vendetta the movie, which was a bit of a betrayal of the graphic novel, which was fine because I pretty much hated the graphic novel, LOL! LOL, Joey!

I couldn't read it. I had to spot-skim it, because it's really unreadable. After that, he much improves, and the politics are clever, if you go for that sort of thing.
