With the naive I kinda wanted to be nice. For example we was clueless about women and humour, from the LotR both almost entirely missing. From the 150+ named characters of the book 5 are women and they are horribly written and depicted, they could have been left out with no consequences. As for the humour he only accidentally touched it with the ludicrous banality of the Shire and the pathetic hobbits, but even this wasn't intentional on his part, he wrote the whole thing with straight face and the highest seriousness.
