Correct Takes: The Hobbit: great The Trilogy: genius The Simarillion: garbage
-

Simarillion is okay, but it reads like an Orion's Arm article / article cluster written by a man of great talent (duh) but still fundamentally an OA article. It isn't exactly a criticism, but I do think it explains why S. has a limited baseline appeal
-
I guess it's actually slightly worse for S. because after Hobbit / LoTR the tone and structure shift is jarring, so there's a bit of that accursed hideous "subverted expectations" thing going against it too
