I want pure fantasy, nothing like Narnia where the kids go from England to a fantasy world I want something that starts and ends in the fantasy world.

What's the objective assessment of Tolkien's prose?

Fans are retarded and critics casually dismissive - or focused on other aspects. English is not my first language and I've read it in translation.

What book would you like to see told from another character's perspective? For me it's probably Smeagol in the LOTR trilogy. You?

That's snarkier than I intend, but deep down Star Wars is as much Fantasy as it is SF, if not more so.
