I'm not sure why I didn't realize this was YA. I appreciated Bilbo as a character and his balance between cozy/safe vs. adventurous. I think my general consensus toward this book was sort of just tepid though. I had difficulty believing that so many individuals were convinced to go on such a treacherous/unknown journey to them when it was all for riches - I think I had expected there to be some greater call to action for them.
