This seems absolutely absurd to me. Some of my favorite books of all time took a good 20 or so pages to get into. In fact, I don't know if there's any book I've been hooked from the first sentence.

Ben Hur is an obvious choice? Why has nobody said this one? It's one of the most famous movies of all time and overtly religious.

Frodo deserves his praise at the ceremony, however there is some validity to this.

He claimed the ring, and Middle Earth is forever ruined for him. They go back to the Shire, kick ass, kill a bunch of bandits, and purge Saruman from their home, and save everyone. But Frodo literally can't even enjoy it. Middle Earth is forever ruined for him, and he literally has to leave the content and metaphorically pass on to the next world in order to achieve any semblance of peace. His soul is thoroughly shredded from the ring.

Anybody that says LOTR has a cliche ending where the good guys win is a moron.
