Sword of Shannara > LotR

I'm reading that right now and it definitely has better pacing. I don't have to put up with several pages describing trees like Tolkien often gets caught up in.

No other than the ring of power they are nothing alike.

Now he did pull some ideas like dwarves and elves from the myth. He pulled some some Jewish and Christianty. The Maiar are the equivalent of Angels. "Messengers" who can walk among men. Gandalf is based on one of Odins forms. And Sauron pretty much has the same downfall as Satan

Even Terry Brooks doesnt think this. The publishers of the books wanted an LotR clone and pushed Brooks to write one.

SoS is good, but derivative, and I say this as a fan.

You haven't truly experienced Gtterdmmerung until you've experienced it in the original Klingon.
