Good-bye to the comfortable Hobbit hole, and so Bilbo Baggins' adventure begins in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. The story is about Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey, and a band of Dwarves in an epic quest to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug, a large and very dangerous dragon. The story takes place in the second age of Middle Earth at a time of peace. This is a prelude to The Lord of the Rings, another exciting adventure story by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit is now a major motion picture coming out December 14th, 2012. Watch The Hobbit trailer here.
I enjoy the book because it is a story of long ago at a time when languages and letters were quite different, a time where men drew swords and fought for honour between Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs. I recommend this book for people with a taste for adventure and a love of languages.
