Perhaps it was just me but I didn't enjoy this like so many others did. It took me a really long time to get through it as it just didn't excite me. I think one of the most exciting parts was with the dragon. I sure hope Lord of the Rings is a better read for me! ...more

I enjoyed this much more than my attempt at LOTR, probably because it was written for children and so not as tedious to me. One day I will read LOTR.

Not happy with some characters endings though, but don't want to spoil anyone.

This was my first time reading The Hobbit, and I loved it! It was a fun adventure, totally fantasy, and just good reading. It kept me interested throughout, and although I have been told the other Lord of the Rings books are much more difficult, I am hoping to read them later this year.
