I finished
1984 about 23 years after I started... does that count?

They are not.
Particularly as she gets toward the end and seemed to have rushed into publication, her writing gets worse, though for a fantasy fan, the premise and the story in and of itself is enjoyable.
When I first read
Hobbit, I absolutely devoured it... I was a child, then. After reading LotR, however, I can't really enjoy
Hobbit anymore-- I want to read it in the same style as the later books, not as a YA novel.
