Revisiting this series after a while! Tolkien’s world building is incredible, with a mix of loveable characters and an adventure of turns and twists. Was gifted this book series by my uncle as a kid, and only recently found out the copies were my mum’s from the 80’s! Makes me cherish them even more now :0)

How on Earth am I meant to rate this properly? It is a book which has influenced some of my favourites and just about everyone. Once I got into it I really enjoyed it! It is a shame I deemed it boring from the first chapters as a child, I think if I'd read the rest I'd have found it has many elements I loved (minus the spiders >_<). Luckily I didn't remember much from the first and third of the films (I missed the second one...), so I got to experience it fully. Definitely getting my hands on The Lord of the Rings next!
Bilbo is the guy ever. Love that little man.

this was a fun adventure. i had seen the movies and decided to read the book after, and will follow up with other tolkien books. 

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.
