We had cozy moments where we sat by the fire. We felt the hunger, the cold, and the rain. We held our breath every time Bilbo slipped on the ring. We felt the happiness everytime we saw Gandalf. And mostly, we stood in lovey amazement at every new “race” that was introduced.
The Hobbit is an adventurous, reflective, and sometimes dark (but often hopeful) story about friendship and faith in the vast world of Tolkien.

it was nice reading about the adventures of bilbo et al. i liked the tone of this a lot more than the movies and found it to be a very relaxing read. it was very nice to sit on the couch and read with a cup of tea.
it was slow, but that could also be chalked up to the print edition i was reading since it had small font and not a lot of paragraphing or spacing.
i highly recommend this still, i almost wish there was more detail like how the movie creators expand on a lot of the scenes, but at the same time it felt nice that it was not so detailed in the book which left it more open ended and up to the interpretation of the reader.
