Into the land of the Shire, where a hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins lives. An ordinary life he lives until who comes to his doorstep, but none other than Gandalf the wizard. And so his life of perfectly timed breakfast, teatime, and relaxation stops. Instead, he finds himself in the company of dwarves and sometimes Gandalf in search of the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug. But the path to stolen treasure is not easy one. For it’s laid with dangerous creatures, mysterious forests, a magic ring, and a dragon that would eat all as a snack.

I don’t know why I waited so long to read The Hobbit. I absolutely fell in love with Tolkien’s world building and his characters. You couldn’t help but relate! I found myself laughing, pitying, and admiring the characters. The only thing I wasn’t happy with was how I felt the last chapters were cramped together. I would have been okay with a longer book so details of the storyline were expanded. Besides that I was a fan! 4/5 stars for me.
