Why is The Hobbit so divisive among readers?

[Anonymous No.12158972]

It's either loved by people who respect it for its simplicity and comfiness or hated for the same reason. Disliking it I understand, but actively shitting on it for being easy to read and overrated is top-tier pseudism.

It's fundamentally a children's book and on that level it's a very good one, for adults yes it is too simple.

I don't know many people who hate it except anglophobes and far left nutjobs who have a grudge against Tolkien for being a conservative.

People who dislike The Hobbit for being too simple, assuming they've even actually read it, are pseuds.

ive never actually met anyone who hates the hobbit (book). people complain about the tediousness of lotr but always seem to enjoy the hobbit for what it is.

I hate pseuds so fucking much. They're really just narcissists. I asked for some books about narcissists so I can better understand them, but... well, never mind
