Favorite Author J.R.R. Tolkein
J.R.R. Tolkein has become my favorite author because of his series the "Lord of the Rings". He also did a very good job writing "The Hobbit". I enjoy his writing because of how well he composes his novels. He has a strong talent with getting the readers engaged into the story. This is due to how much detail he includes into his writings. When reading in Tolkein's books he very well paints a picture so that his readers see exactly what he wanted them to see. He also does a good job at creating different characters. These characters that he creates are very well distinguished one from another. As a reader i was able to see the personalities of each character and what made them different from all of the other characters.Another trait of Tolkein's writing that i enjoy is his use of words. Even though he is a intelligent person he does not try to include fancy words to try and prove a point. The diction is very well done and not too hard to understand. With the word choice that Tolkein has he can easily persuade readers to feel a certain way. He does this through the emotional appeal that is evident in his writings. When there is an intense part in the story it builds up to the event so that the readers can almost feel like they are in that same moment with the characters. Last of all i enjoy his old style in writing because it gives the book an old feeling which helps the readers think back as if this story was written a long time ago.

I don't think that anyone can read The Hobbit and not like it. That book alone seals J.R.R. Tolkein as one of the best authors ever. He basically made the fantasy genre and his impact still goes on. Lord of the Rings trumps Harry Potter any day.
