So is LOTR written in the style of The Hobbit? Because I gave up quick on the later.
It's been a long time but IIRC The Hobbit is written for a younger audience, LOTR is harder to read and has a more serious tone
The Hobbit does grow more serious as it goes on, the first third is... an experience to read, i agree. LOTR is much more serious, the elves are much more the wise old beings (still jovial at times, but in a less childish way).
