Examining The Lord of the Rings: An independent critique by Aaron Ryan

＂Examining The Lord of the Rings＂ by Aaron Ryan is an in-depth look at what makes the quintessential science fiction fantasy saga by J.R.R. Tolkien work so well, and why it’s so appealing across generations and cultures. With themes that resound, characters that appeal, and narrate that resonates, ＂The Lord of the Rings＂ is a timeless classic that continues to reach new audiences for good reason.

Also included in this critical piece is an epic 65-stanza poem entitled ＂Ode to Tolkien,＂ written by Ryan, which testifies to J.R.R. Tolkien’s incredible prowess in world-building and story-crafting. It is an immense work written in the rhyme and meter of Tolkien himself, and is deeply compelling.

Author Aaron Ryan of the ＂Dissonance＂ post-apocalyptic alien invasion saga, and the Christian dystopian saga, ＂The End＂ credits much of his writing style and inspiration from Tolkien and ＂The Lord of the Rings,＂ and presents this labor of love to inspire and encourage readers everywhere to grab their copy of ＂The Lord of the Rings＂ - and get lost in the magic as he did.
