slow-paced
Tried multiple times to read this book and couldn’t do it. Gave it a try as an audio book and it wasn’t bad.

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
Keep watching over Durin's son

I'd forgotten how epic the sweet happy story of the Hobbit was. And remembering it made made me cry.
