Pretty much every anti-Tolkien sentiment ever, all compressed into one article! Sounds like this guy doesn't approve of escapism in any form. While there are plenty of good points to be made about the dangers of excess or obsession (over anything), there is nothing constructive at all about his approach and it just comes off as sour grapes. In fact, I'm left wondering what he does for entertainment, or if he believes in having fun at all.

I'm surprised The Telegraph allowed such tripe to be published!

In some circles it's cool to hate the popular thing.

I'd expect this kind of things 10 years ago, not in today's media. /

The true horror comes when someone can no longer tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not

I thought this kind of sentiment died in the 1990's?

Chris Tolkien probably gave the Telegraph a huge wad of cash
