It's not something I would go for now (had I first encountered him in recent years). But no, I did not dislike LoTR when I discovered it as a youth. Can you guess my least favorite parts of it, though (even back then)?

Spoiler:
Elvish/dwarvish--languages I'm not going to learn
Songs--all of them
Bombadil interlude
Capture by barrow wights
The history/names of famous swords.
The Moria dwarf recent-history lesson in the book found at Balin's tomb
Scouring of the Shire coda
Appendices

These are all things I skimmed through (or skipped entirely)--even on subsequent re-reads (back when re-reads still appealed to me).
