The first Orwell book I read (&lt;i&gt;Homage to Catalonia&lt;/i&gt;) was required for a history class -- a class that had previously assigned some truly awful literature. So I was pessimistic and I read it grudgingly at first. But halfway through the book, I realized I loved it.</text></comment>

Something like Harry Potter to LoTRs. I don&apos;t think there&apos;s anything wrong with that, I mean, Harry Potter got a whole bunch of people reading. But seeing this explanation helps me better understand why I feel like that, and what it means.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;d call this an analysis more than a review. Whatever you think it is, I found it a pretty honest and open piece coming from someone who has such a personal stake in the book.</text></comment>
