Reading 'the hobbit' was a delight. I always wanted to read a novel by Tolkien and I finally got the chance!
Lord of the rings was the first epic story I ever learned about so I have an emotional connection with Tolkien's world. The hobbit was magnificent, so magical and full of good messages about the world and people's values.

For me, It was a first book by J.R.R Tolkien, Reading Hobbit was an amazing journey. First time i read about war,dwarves,dragons . I found it little tough when he started describing the ancestors hierarchy but later on i got the hold . overall it was an astounding read.
