To be fair, it took me three tries to read all of LotR. I kept getting stuck in Bree. (Mind you, I've read it all several times since then!) And I'm not sure the OP read beyond Fellowship, looking at the secret.

But I don't think Tolkien's writing is mundane or draggy at all. It's third person omniscient, which a lot of people aren't used to anymore, and he throws in poetry now and then, but it's very readable. I got stuck in Bree because it felt like I'd had my adventure with the wraiths and I was done now.

The writing in Twilight, on the other hand, was excruciating, at least for the forty pages I gave it as a try.

It's probably more accurate to say the storytelling bogged down and dragged for me. His wordcraft is fine; the story itself is fine; but the book(s) as a whole reaaaaaally tried my attention span more than a few times.
