I have just, a couple days ago, finished reading a short fantasy novel called The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Overall, I would say that I liked it, but it was not a serious enough, coherently put together fantasy for my tastes. I feel that the author was more trying to get across his variuos principles than he was telling an enormously compelling tale. Tolkien, on the other hand, I feel went more for the tale than the point, and his book is my favorite. Two other works that I really love are the Phantom Tollbooth (principles and story both spectacularly done) and the Chronicles of Narnia (principles and story both spectacularly done).
Have any of you read the Last Unicorn? I don't think I quite understood everything the author was trying to get across, and I would love discussion the book, if anyone found it worthy of discussing, to see if my eyes could be opened a little more to something important I may have missed.
