Wow...

Okay, just because it has "less magic" doesn't mean it's not a good fantasy book. To the point of the dragons, have you even gone near Children of Húrin or The Silmarillion? Judging by your grammatical ability, the most exposure you've had to LOTR/Middle-earth is the movies, and we aren't arguing about those, we're arguing about the books. Dragons are not restricted to stealing gold and eating people, though it is a habit of theirs. After all, even after death they have an influence over people, and caused entire battles (not just in the movies).

I will say this: You have to forgive any post-Tolkien fantasy author for using Elves, Dwarves, and men in their stories because they've been popular in stories well before his time (although his Elves seem more original, and nobody can get away with using Orcs/Uruks, or Hobbits).
