Review: The Hobbit

Okay so I just want to start off by saying I'm really sorry I haven't been lately and I promise that will change I'm Just so busy. Just kidding not really, but theres a lot of tv to watch and books to read and movies to see and school to attend you know. So anyway since the last time I've posted I've read a ton of books that I'm so excited to blog about and I'm about to do my first top ten tuesday! So without further ado my review of The Hobbit!

Summary: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001). Unforgettable!

Review: Okay so I have been wanting to read this for SO SO SO long, but I just kept putting it off. Last week I finally decided I would stop being so lazy and give it a try. I'm so glad I did. The reason for my holding back on it was because I thought it would take me a long time to read. Boy was I wrong I read it in about 3 hours which for me is pretty short considering I'm a relatively slow reader. I really enjoyed just about every part of this book. The adventure was so fun and never repeated itself (which I fell like happens in a lot of fantasy novels) and the characters were so funny. I don't know if they were supposed to be, but they were. Anyway great writing, awesome plot, fun characters, a very evil villain and an all around fantastic adventure. I recommend this book to anyone who likes happiness and has a soul. :)
