There are a lot of legitimate complaints that can be leveled at LotR -- that it's a "children's book" is not really one of them, IMO. It's 1100 pages and deals with some pretty serious themes. Though I suppose if you automatically define anything that doesn't contain explicit sex and gruesome violence as for children...

Finding adult theme sci fi and fantasy that is not child like themed or dry as old bones is difficult.

It's really not particularly difficult at all.
