J.K Rowling vs. J.R.R. Tolkien
Who wins my heart?
J.R.R. Tolkien
The whole Harry Potter thing is a great piece of work. The plot is genious and the whole idea of magic is amazing. The characters are colorful and described with vigor. I loved reading this book and recomend it to all who ask my opinion.
HHHowever....
J.K. Rowling is simply not another J.R.R Tolkien. He was an artist with his work. John Ronald created another world, set an example of all mythical creatures, and with these things he made a intriquetly designed work of art that would be marveled al throughout the world.
I read his biography and even from an academic point of view, he was a genious. Only God knows what went on his head. At times, I long to know what his thoughts were about. Were they about the real world or HIS world? I suppose we will never know.
His work was beautiful and delicious to read. As the words dance before my eyes, I jump in between the lines and become part of the story.
Anyway, that is my tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien.

I am glad to see you do use your blog!!! I have to admit that I haven't read books by either author. (Ouch that's a scary thing to admit to the Crawford readers!!!)
O caro you are funny. Just because people don't comment doesn't mean they don't read it! Good, thoughtful analysis of the authors... I don't know if I've ever thought that much about them...
I agree...i like both but Tolkein is on another level.
