i believe that it is not in good imaginations

for example i love the books and the movie (i love the books more than the movie)
my sister however hates lotr.
my cousin loves the movie but does not wish to read all three books.
all three of us have very vivid imaginations.

so it must be something else. i believe it is the sheer writing of tolkien. it is not some fantasy book but a different world with different races and languages. once you read the first chapter you are enthralled by the lands and ways of middle earth.
