Can children appreciate The Lord of the Rings?

[Carannillion]

And that's not what I want either. I'mtalking light, positive analyzation to - as I said - get to know the plot and the characters even more. Sometimes even adding another dimension to it. Of course, all books are different, and they all need to be approached differently. I wouldn't analyze Tolkien's books as 'hard' as those of a modern, contemporary writer.

Please don't misunderstand, I want the magic to be preserved, but I also like to look a bit closer at things. Isn't that sort of what we do here? Delve deep into the stories and try to find out more about them.
