I should clarify that I myself don't feel so strongly about it being 'impersonal' though I think it may be to a degree. I do realize it wasn't Tolkien's finished product. That sentence should probably end with "...to the average reader looking to identify with the characters in the same way he/she did in the tales of the Third Age."
Is it me, or just did lindil just delete his post I was responding to?
