The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien


TITLE:  The Hobbit
AUTHOR:  Tolkien, J. R. R.
GENRE:  Fantasy
DATES READ:  8/31/2013 - 9/9/2013
MY RATING:  4/5

This book is for those of us who wish to be brave; and those of us who sometimes find home more comforting.  You will find a kindred spirit in Mr. Bilbo Baggins.

I absolutely fell in love with this story!  What wonderful characters!!!  The overall plot showcases people's faults, and how they may rise to the occasion and overcome them.  Throughout the journey, Gandalf acts as a sly and whimsical guardian, and Bilbo returns a changed man... or hobbit.  He grows to becomes courageous, selfless, and loyal to a fault.

This book will forever remain a charming classic tale of growth and change.  You will change for the better for having read it!

Will read and write soon!
