Her writing style is honestly pretty great, very vivid. Her storytelling and preachiness is not great.

You should read it. "Children's book" is a pretty inaccurate term. Not to say it's violent, just too complex for the average kid. I know people who were bored by it as kids, but I love the novel. Regarding Solaris, did you try the library? Regarding Frankenstein, what's your cover?

I appreciate the suggestion. I'm just going to order a first English edition - I simply hadn't had the 3-5 minutes to spare to place the order. (I was busy getting married this week).

If Tolkien was a Norse minstrel telling us tales at a pub, his writing style would be easy to overlook, especially with the great plot going on in LOTR. Unfortunately that's not the case and the writing style still hinders my enjoyment of the books.
Someone should rewrite the series to (1) make the reading itself more interesting and (2) really piss off the die hard fans.

I'm aware. It doesn't translate across mediums well, or at least Tolkien can't do it successfully.
