I know it's subjective, but I didn't find the books hard to read nor too detailed. I read them all in 7th/8th grade. And they are not "really, really long" unless you only read magazine articles.
😉 Seriously, a single hardcover edition containing the complete LotR story is only about 1200 pages long (add on another 300 pages for The Hobbit). You want a long story? How about the Wheel of Time. Each book is around 500 pages and there are 9 or 10 books out now and it's *still* not over yet. I usually feel cheated if a book is less than 300 pages though. So maybe I'm just weird.
