J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings are the real thing. Good stories, that have you on the edge of your seat, the pages turn themselves with no effort required by the reader to enjoy. The stories are about magic, but they have real magic too, for they enchant you, and enslave you. I have Re-read them time and time again over the last 30 years. Enthralled is perhaps a way of describing my mood when re-reading Lord of the Rings. You may, or may not agree with my opinions of Tolkien, but his books have captivated many thousands of children and adults across the whole globe. Rod Birch
