A review by hexmurphy
The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien by Wayne G. Hammond, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christina Scull

3.0

this could be a solid time if there was even a silent woman in the background of a single scene other than the anonymous blob of purported women and children mentioned after lake town was destroy. but no. there's even mention of beorn having children who still turn to bears for generations, but like... children with who? reading hours upon hours of geographic descriptions from tolkien aloud admittedly also brought this down.

as it is, i do love bilbo baggins. and his encounters with smaug and gollum, which were frankly delightful to read aloud.
