Nope. Hobbit is a children's book, LoTR is an adult series with depth and tragedy. Love them both, but not on the same level.

Good points but it was exactly the female role I missed in The Hobbit. Who didn't wait for Arwen with bated breath?

An obvious case, actually. Once LOTR hits the Council of Elrond, it takes itself far too seriously. All those Elbereths.

I heartily agree and I decided that when I was 17. Tolkien needed a damned good editor to rope him in on LOTR. Hobbit was far better.
