   If that is what you wanted to say, then I am sorry that I misunderstood   
   (I think it was the emphasis on the word 'is' that caused me to   
   understand it as 'is only' or at least 'is mainly').   
      
   I certainly agree (as I said above) that there are elements of action   
   adventure in /The Lord of the Rings/, though I consider this to be a   
   very minor, and rather uninteresting, aspect of the book.
