The Hobbit!
This book brings back memories. Years ago, when I was a poor student who could not afford great literature to read, especially from highly acclaimed authors, I stumbled upon someone else's copy of The Hobbit and sought permission to borrow it. And yes, like any other amazing Tolkien book, this one is just simply oozing with adventure and mystique and legendary characters.
In this book, home-loving Bilbo Baggins' story is told of how he joins a band of men to complete a quest which will allow them to win a share of the dragon's treasure. Tolkien introduces the creatures of the Wilderland and the world that is completely different from Bilbo's Shire from which he is very much attached to. The entire quest changes how the young Bilbo sees life as he reaches a higher level of maturity and appreciation for company and adventure.
These are just some glimpses of the book

ReplyDeleteAfter Reading The Hobbit, it was very interesting adventure although the beginning had a slow pace due to Bilbo's annoying grumblings early on; although at times I would even laugh at Bilbo's petty arguments on himself, but it gets a lot more exciting as the story gets to the climax of the journey. All in all this is a must read for Lord of the Rings fans and for those who love adventure and fantasy alike
DeleteFenris: I still have other books for you to read! Hehehehe
