The Hobbit!!









I have never seen the Lord of The Rings movies or read The Hobbit. I must say that I really enjoyed reading this book! The story tells of a hobbit, which are small people who love food, boos and good cheer. His name is Bilbo Baggins, and he is tricked into an epic adventure! He is not young, but middle aged and this surprised me because most of the main characters are quite young. However this hobbit doesn't want to have an adventure, he wants to keep to himself. Too bad for Bilbo, since a wizard has other plans for him. These plans will soon forever change Bilbo's life.

As I continue reading this book I really start to enjoy the change in Bilbo's character. At the beginning of the book Bilbo doesn't want to partake in any adventure, but is soon tricked into a quest with a band guys to find treasure. It sounds fun, but there is a dangerous hazard that stands in their way in form of a malicious dragon. This dragon is protecting a great treasure that has been left inside a mountain for years. Thorin, who is the leader of the group that Bilbo is traveling with, wants to claim this treasure because it belonged to his past elders. However, there are certain obstacles that they soon face.

Throughout the book Bilbo evolves drastically as a character. He is at first timid and afraid of change and danger. As the story goes on he becomes more confident, brave and willing to complete his adventure. He also becomes very cunning when faced with dangerous tasks. What helps him develop as a character is an object that he finds in a cave. This ring is special because it can make the wearer invisible. However, this ring is actually extremely dangerous. Bilbo has this ring in his possession and due to this he is able to save his comrades from certain death.

All in all, I loved reading this book. It was different from what I would have usually read. The way that he set up the characters and settings was amazing. Now I really want to watch the movies and see just how much changes with Bilbo and his ring.
