I echo that I think it depends on the age of the person reading it. I was first given them to read at around 10/11ish and I was way too young for the writing style. I could understand it just fine, my vocab was there, but it was SO boring and dry compared to everything else I was reading at that age.

It took me more than a decade and a half to go back and reread them again.

whereas I read them around the same age and instantly fell in love. Tolkien's style is exactly what I want in a narrative. currently on my 25th-ish re-read of Fellowship, having taken a break after the movies came out because I hated them so much and needed to get the association out of my head.

(I do skip the songs and poems though. Ugh.)

Aw, the songs and poems are awesome, and add such flavor!

Tom, your boots and you wife all very pretty. You can shut up about them now.

ehhh for me it's that I already know the lore, backwards and forwards, I don't need to soak in a poem about Earendil to remember his part in the First Age. BUT...I never skip Tom Bombadil, because his entire dialogue (except maybe two lines of exposition) are in the same rhythm as his songs. It's brilliant. Even when he's just talking about beds and dinner, it can all be chanted to the same rhythm as "ho Tom Bombadil." I love him.

Same. My dad actually read them to me when I was 9/10 and I was in love from the get-go.
