The Hobbit

An absolute magnificent read. The structure of the book, "The Hobbit" has an interesting dialects to the novel; which number one would be the bold but, the text structure makes a phenomenal read of all radical progression of litture. The book is absolutely excellent and the experience made it an interesting and fantastic novel. The most likely reason to read this book overall is because due to the circumstances ad connection of such bold but, outrageous form of the text and the writing is absolutely phenomenally to the best sense of humor, confusion, adventurous, thrill taking, actionable, and superiority complex; considered a admirable novel at it's time published and today's standards. The devotion that J.R.R. Tolkien books are excellent and excretory systemic constructional reads he has published. "The Hobbit" and the whole series of the "Lord of the Rings" and all of his other books and novels J.R.R. has published are magnificent in it's own style of litture. Absolutely 100/100% 💯

Bilbo Baggins was content to stay in the Shire, living his days out in his hobbit hole. But when Gandalf the wizard visits the Shire and Bilbo invites him to tea, the hobbit’s life changes forever. Thirteen dwarves show up on his doorstep with Gandalf, speaking of an adventure to reclaim their family’s mountain and gold from the dragon Smaug. The itch to travel and experience life outside the Shire overcomes Bilbo, and he starts his journey to help the dwarves reclaim what was lost. When you begin reading The Hobbit, don’t expect the flashy drawn out fight scenes and plot twists you’ll see in modern day fantasy. Written in 1937, the style of writing is vastly different but has aged well over the years. There is a wide cast of characters, but Tolkien makes sure they all stay in the reader’s view and keeps the story steadily moving forward. While the characters will have mishaps and battles, the details are oftentimes summarized making the scenes appropriate for a younger crowd while still maintaining enough for the older. Following along with Bilbo was like walking among friends. The way the narrator talks about the hobbit and his companions is with familiarity and respect for their choices. Often Bilbo has to think outside of the box, and instead of rushing into situations, he tries to talk through them and keep open communication instead of resorting to fighting. I wish this style of confrontation made into more modern day fantasy. Listening to The Hobbit on audiobook enhanced the experience for me. Rob Inglis did a wonderful job voicing the characters and bringing to life the songs I most likely would have skipped over if I were reading the print version. And his version of Gollum was phenomenal! If you haven’t had the chance to read, or listen to, The Hobbit I highly recommend it. This is one of the only classics I have enjoyed.

It may be a long book, but it is enjoyable in the end. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, comes across a wizard named Gandalf and dwarves: Oin, Gloiin, Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield, the leader. They journey to Lonely Mountain, a once dwarf paradise, now owned by vile dragon, Smaug. Many pages later, Bilbo finds the One Ring in Gollum's cave. He tricks Gollum into letting him leave. Using the ring's invisibility, he outruns Gollum. Gandalf tells the dwarves and Bilbo that he is leaving, putting Bilbo in charge. They walk into a forest where Shelobs live. They attempt to eat the dwarves until Bilbo kills them with his sword, Sting. Wood Elves later hold the dwarves captive. Later on, they make it to Lonely Mountain. Bilbo talks to Smaug with the ring on. Smaug later breathes fire to try to kill Bilbo. Once Bilbo's out, Saug exits the mountain to seek his revenge. The Battle of Three Armies took place when dwarves, men, and wood elves fight to see who gets the gold. Later, they join forces to kill the goblins (orcs). Sooner or later, Bilbo's back in the Shire. -Rondrick
