I'll get back to this eventually but it's funny to me that I adore LOTR so much (reread it every year) and can barely get thru the Hobbit

the world built by Tolkien is amazing I loved every part of it about the book well I love the whole concept the characters were amazing and the moment the present us the dragon was perfect my only complain (spoiler)the dragon wasn't the final enemy and I was so interested about the Dragon but how the dragon get killed was too simple for me I needed more of a real deal with the dragon but noooo just a simple arrow kill him you have to be kidding me we wait the hole book for the dragon to appear and when it appear it is awesome you feel the tension of the characters but just an arrow throw all of that out of the window so Not really happy with that
After the dragon's death I didn't felt big interested for the final battle a character die and we just got a few lines to know what happens so it doesn't have the impact that the character deserved the end I liked it it was like the hobbit finally have rest but almost all the problems after the dragon's death were meaningless
though I need to make very clear I would reread this book and that means a lot From all the books I have read(not a lot)I would reread 2 books and this is one of them I don't know I just feel like this is a really comfy book to read maybe in a rainy or snowy day after a hard day of work because a feeling in this book is clear for me being in the comfort zone at the start in the hobbit hole but taking the risk and go to the adventures and after all the hard work finally you get to the hobbit hole and you finally have peace and I think the words of Bilbo are clever than mine so here they are:
"Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known."
