I read this book for the first time as a kid and fell in love with it so I wanted to re-read it as an adult with a more critical eye and see if it still holds up to the opinion I had of it and I’m happy to say that it does.
J.R.R Tolkien weaves a whimsical tale fit for children and adults. I loved reading this from the perspective of a narrator who would pop in with color commentary here and there to add to the story.
I loved how vivid Tolkien is with his descriptions of people or places. He writes in such a beautiful way that gives me a clear mental image of what he’s trying to put forth.
I love this fantasy world Tolkien has created and there’s a reason he’s considered the GOAT and his works have stood the test of time.
If reading The Lord Of The Rings seems like a daunting task definitely give The Hobbit a try to dip your toes into this magical world that cleared a path for modern fantasy.
