I can't believe that I haven't read this before now (well actually I can believe it because I wasn't really big on sci-fi/fantasy much before and am now really branching out into it and other genres, but that is besides the point). It seems like everyone I know has read this and the three volumes of...
Ich schreib jetzt mal nicht, worum es im Hobbit geht, das sollte wirklich jeder wissen :D Sooo, letztes Jahr hab ich das Buch schonmal gelesen. Das war die Original Version, sozusagen die Kinderversion, in der Gollum noch aussah wie ein riesiger Frosch und die Zwerge als würden sie direkt von Schnee...
(I was torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars. I originally gave it 3 -actually meaning 3.5-, but then I started thinking about what this book meant for its time. It has an originality and magic that is not so easy to appreciate at this age and decade, so I think I found the half-star I was looking for...
I really tried to read The Hobbit, really truly tried- I just couldn't do it. Usually I can manage to struggle my way through any book but not this one.
The Hobbit, and subsequently The Lord of the Rings, is the book that is chiefly responsible for the fantasy genre today; either in influencing or reacting against it.

Felt rather poetic. :)It had been quite a while since I'd last read the book and while I remembered the main things, it was delightful to re-discover many of the small d...
A Re-read from the annals of time, picking up The Hobbit again was like wandering back into an old, safe, comfortable world. Full of home comforts and the smells of childhood stories, Tolkien's world is one of memory and satisfaction, a story which resists time, and settles into your body, your bone...
As adventures go, this one is pretty fun and exciting. But I did feel there's a little less trust and unity between the dwarves and Bilbo than I expected. Not all dwarves are treated equally, some get more important roles while others barely get mentioned every few dozen pages or so. By the end of t...
Review I went into The Hobbit with really high expectations. It’s pretty hard not to with all the hype around it. But fear not, it certainly meets the highest of expectation, surpasses them even! The first bit was written just beautifully. The way Mr. Tolkien wrote felt like story telling at its b...
