When I told my mom what the changes were from the movie to the book (both of us had seen the first two parts), she said "That sounds so boring!" So if you're looking for a plot-driven book, don't pick this one. Really, I guess you should pick up this book because ... I said so. And it's just amazing...

I reread The Hobbit recently, and was reminded of how much depth a really good writer can put even into a children's story. A good number of the books that I liked when I was younger have stopped being interesting now, but The Hobbit remains as fascinating as ever. Even though, compared to The Lor...

Review: ** spoiler alert ** O! God. This is overwhelming. I am laughing, going mad and above all crying. This is too much happiness for me to take the path of a journey that once been taken by one of my favorite Hobbit ever Mr. Baggins which I am so proud of; he never imagined that his Took side...
