This book is a definite must read for fans of The Lord of the Rings as it sets the scene for the trilogy and has some of the same characters. However as a stand alone book it is also fantastic. The fantasy world Tolkien has created is amazing with wizards, dragons and magic it has all you could want from the genre. And the story is very engaging as well. It is a fun read for anyone and a much easier read than the Lord of the Rings so children will love it too!

I still prefer LOTR to The Hobbit more than a little, and I don’t expect that will change. But the fact remains that, like all of Tolkien’s work, this is a masterpiece in its own right and cannot be forgotten.

From the first line to the last, this book I pure magic. I love the world building, the characters, and Tolkien’s writing. This is my second read through of The Hobbit and I hope to read it many more times for all the comfort and joy it brings.
