I think this is due for a re-read -- it's one of my absolute favorites, and with the incunabula anniversary edition in my possession, there's even more to read.

Current thoughts: Very Stephen King-esque, both in style and in thematics -- well-done in its own respects, but a bit nostalgia-baity and cartoony in its characterization. Easy to read, but not sure why it has to be as long as it is.

My first reread as an adult-- have not picked up LOTR since the movies originally came out, back when I was about ten years old.

Excited to appreciate it from a craft standpoint-- understanding the style in a way that would've gone over my head two decades ago.

Flawlessly done. The immediacy and ferocity of Butler's writing draws you in like nothing else. Excited to finally be reading this.
