Tolkien is awesome and I don't care what Moorcock says. Anyone who insists that there's only one way for books to be good, instead of many different qualities that resonate with different readers, is much more of a "crypto-fascist" to me (whatever that means). When dealing with a book like LOTR, which obviously appeals deeply to many people, an honest critic shouldn't say more than "it doesn't appeal to me in the way I care about".
