The Hobbit book review

J.R.R. Tolkein, who is the author of There and Back Again, wrote an amazing story of a friendly hobbit who finds adventure in the must unlikely places. Bilbo Baggins, who is a respectable character who never has any adventures of any kind, is suddenly thrust into a world of dragons, gold and adventure by a wise old wizard named Gandolf. This book occurs in middle earth through the Misty Mountains, over the lonely lake, and into the very lair of the great dragon, Smaug, himself. I, myself, love this book and have read it many times because of the delightful sarcastic tone the narrator uses throughout the book and the genuine sense of adventure that it inspires. If you love The Lord of the Rings trilogy, whether the movies or the books, this book would be a great read.
