Oh, it has it's own sound and such, like a real language. It's formed around Greek, Latin, Japanese and a little bit of Russian.

Yes, he tends to stray off and describe those kind of things a lot, he never does battle scenes.
In truth, his writing is kind of bad >.<

LOTR is excellent in all aspects of literature except narration. Sure, the settings are beautiful, but it shouldn't take half the book to describe them. Sure, the history and plot is amazing, but it shouldn't take ten pages to recount a song. The movies were good enough for you not to read the books, even if they left out a few things and overdramatized others.
