Terry Brooks and Tolkien should never be mentioned in the same sentence, unless that sentence goes something like "Terry Brooks' Sword of Shannara series is quite possibly the most blatant Lord of the Rings ripoff I've ever read." To each their own though...
Have you ever read Terry Brooks "Magic kingdom for sale sold" those are his landover novles i kindof liked them. Oh and i had someone once tell me that the harry potter books are just as good or better than Tolkiens works. Needless to say i laughed in there face

(nicely) and i have read the potter books and not much there (IMO).
