Book Review- The Hobbit

What can I say about this book.

Lets first start out with my first time reading this book, or more appropriately, TRIED to read this book. I read the first 10 or 15 pages and couldn't get into it. It wasn't what I thought and so I decided to not read it. The whole point of me picking up this book 2 years ago was because of the movie. Since I couldn't get into the book I figured I wouldn't like the movie either so I never went and saw the movie. FINALLY after two years, I decided on a whim to just watch the movie, and I'm SO GLAD I DID! I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with the two movies that were out and I needed more so I decided to finally watch The Lord of the Rings movies. And when that was over, I still needed more. So I decided to pick up The Hobbit again and I was SOOO glad that I did! This time I was able to get through it because I understood what I was getting into. Enjoy rambling on, lets get to this review! 

Title- The Hobbit 
Author- J R.R. Tolkien
Pages- 307
Rating- 5 out of 5
Companion/Sequel- Prequel to The Lord of the Rings

Goodreads Synopsis- In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

What I Loved-

1) The Dwarves Barging in. This happens right in the beginning of the book and I just found it absolutely hysterical. It was enjoyable to read.

2) The Songs! In the movie they're not that many songs sung, however in the books they're quite a few and they're very enjoyable, and some were hilarious! 

3) More Detail! This book(obviously) had so much more detail than the movies. I mean some where just small moments, but I feel as though the those small details made the book so much better.

4) The Humor! This book was quite funny, which was surprising because I really didn't expect it to be. A lot of people get called fat in this book.

5) The Characters! They were all so enjoyable. And in case you're wondering I will name all the dwarves for you! -->Thorin, Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Ori, Dori, Nori, Bifu, Bofur, Bombur <-- And then of course, Gandalf and Bilbo!


What I Didn't Love
1) There really isn't anything that I absolutely hated about this story. However, if I had to change one thing about it, it would be the action. As fun and enjoyable as this story is, I feel as if the action kind of fell flat. Another thing was that when the action was getting exciting, Biblo would get knocked out and we would miss it.
