What do you think about reading books made for younger people (Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, etc) as an adult?

There might be a bit of confusion here so I’ll clear it up. I’ve recently been into fantasy lately, and I’m reading Lord of the Rings right now. I’ve also bought the Chronicles of Narnia since I’ve never really experienced it before, and I plan to read it. (Always loved an immersive story)

When I saw these books (all the works were compiled into one book), I was in awe of how big they are. It tells me they were well-crafted, have thought put in them, and are probably very immersive.

However, I looked them up online to see what people thought of them. They both got great reviews, but it turns out that Narnia and LOTR, were originally made for kids/younger people.

I sort of frowned at this. So, I guess I’m curious as to what you all think about an adult (19) reading books generally aimed at children.

I’m still planning to finish and read both, and I’m no stranger to mature stories (Stephen King, Bret Easton Ellis to name some) either way. Thanks for your time!
