I can totally relate to this. I don’t want to read critiques of Lord of the Rings!

I considered it too. I can see how some might find it humdrum, based on the plot, but there’s just something that captures the imagination. He created a very believable world and I enjoy revisiting it. Staying with the theme of not having your heart broken, I haven’t read the two last books in the series. I read a few unhappy reviews and didn’t want to upset the applecart, which is cowardly
