I finally finished The Hobbit, or There and Back Again and it was not like other books that I have read. It was very different in the way in which J. R. R. Tolkien is able to bring this new world of hobbits, dwarves, eagles, goblins, men, trolls, giant spiders, wolves, a dragon, a wizard, and Gollum, to full life.
I borrowed this book from my little cousin who had just finished reading it. I remember her telling me, "Read it soon because the movie is coming out in December."
And that is what I did.
To say the truth, The Hobbit hadn't caught my attention before this. I don't know. I guess, I'm not used to reading fantasy novels. The only other fantasy novels that I read before The Hobbit were Harry Potter.
I thought the story was unique and very well written. While I read page after page of The Hobbit I could easily imagine the places Bilbo Baggins and the thirteen dwarves were passing. In books like these I would say there is no correct way to imagine the scenery. The Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, The Lonely Mountain, and the dragon's liar could be imagined differently by everyone, but in a similar way.
Now, I am ready to see the movie two weeks from tomorrow. I would recommend this book to everyone who wishes to know the adventures of a hobbit who lived a simple life and who later went on a very long and interesting adventure.
