I had wanted to read the books for so long but somehow it was always left for later.

Such a lovely revisit of this book. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

not quite as enchanting as the lord of the rings books have been--i think it's the more simplistic prose style that turned me off, leading me to fast discover that i actually /missed/ those lush, over-descriptive passages that are in LOTR. i miss that type of density, oddly enough. nonetheless, this was still an entertaining tale. gandalf is still as smarmy as ever, and the dwarves were fun sorts.

I didn't like the audio version of this book. I think I should have read it instead. It felt as though I was listening to the cartoon movie.
