I think it's definitely a matter of opinion. I like Tolkien's writing and I think his style is exactly what is needed for the story he's telling. Same for Lewis. There's gravitas and weight in Tolkien's writing style that helps the weight of the story. But whether you find it "entertaining" is completely subjective. I would say, though, that you might not find the story as entertaining in Lewis' style as I don't think he could capture the history and depth of the world and the stakes of the ring quest, which would drastically change the story that's being told.

I do agree about Lewis' allegory being ham-fisted. I always enjoy reading about the different notes and opinions each writer had about the other, and when they discussed their different writing projects. I really like their friendship. :)
