Sarah ~Slow reader, or slowly reading? ;)
Here's the story: I wanted a fantasy book to read, and I figured this is one of the best out there. The first time I tried to read this, I was about 10 years old, and I didn't have the attention-span to pay attention to get past the first chapter. I tried again in high school, but I was reading such...

I would have liked this so much more if I didn't have to read this for school. So. Much. More. In school, we had to take notes on pretty much every single paragraph. It was so annoying.

I know it probably makes me a terrible person in its way, but I love this more than I love the Lord of the Rings. The conversational style of it is always a pure pleasure to read, and the pacing is swift, piling from one adventure straightaway into the next. Also, there's at least one very touching ...

Just finished reading this one with my daughter. First time revisiting Bilbo since I was a kid. We'll both be in line opening night for the movie.

I love The Hobbit, but I can't help thinking that I would like it more without the narrator voice. But then again, it hooked me when I was 12 and it wasn't until years later that I was able to tackle the more adult, serious tone of The Lord of the Rings and fully appreciate the masterpiece that it i...
