My case is simple, in the book there is a line about a Fox's thoughts on Hobbits. There are numerous examples of relatively childlike writing somewhat akin to the Hobbit. Then you have the near constant examples of Lo, Behold and the inverted sentences that Bethberry has mentioned. Tolkien's approach is that the books were written by Hobbits, and from evidence in the book, largely written by the same author, Frodo, at the same time, after the Quest has ended. That being the case it simply makes no logical sense for the two radically different styles of writing to have been written by the same hand. It doesn't hold to the concept that Tolkien has tried to maintain.
