A review by kimmyannschultz
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

3.0

The lord of the rings trilogy were my favorite books of all time, as a teenager. I had never actually read “The Hobbit”, so when I decided to do a reread after 2 decades, I started with the “The Hobbit”. I appreciate the presence of characters that I have come to love from the trilogy. I like many pieces of the story. Bilbo is an amazing character who I enjoy immensely. But, and it’s a big but, it was boring in the majority. I did not enjoy the dwarf characters at all. It was so hard to pay attention to. In fact by its self it would be a two star. Attached to the trilogy I can appreciate it much more. The kernels of history to the lord the rings makes it worth a read for me.
