Sure, Tolkien's writing may have the odd issue. On the other hand, GRRM wrote such a clusterfuck of a boring Middle Eastern savior fantasy detour that he killed his entire series, and has been avoiding it religiously for decades. I would be pretty embarrassed to open my great big yap, if I were him.
