I've never seen the movies or read any of the other books, so this was fun! I got it through a Blind Date with a Book my library was doing. It was a cute adventure, and fun to see how Tolkien's work has influenced most popular fantasy media today. Catching commonplace fantasy words used for the first time was fun. Most of the book moved along at a good pace, but some of it was a little too slow for me.
