While the majority of this story was charming, some of it I found a bit on the dull side. I hope the Tolkien loyalists down send me to Mordor without a paddle, but I found the section of the riddles with Gollum to be drawn out and I found myself daydreaming through some of the narration.

On the other hand, I really enjoy Tolkien's clever turn of phrase and wonderful imagination. ...more

As always, very entertaining. I re-read this story because I recently watched the first Hobbit movie and I wanted to see what was changed.

I very much enjoyed Bilbo's adventure! ...more
