The Hobbit

The Hobbit is a timeless classic set in a mythical world with dwarves and dragons. It branches into a world with fantasy icons, along with a backdrop of a mysterious world. I choose the book because I had read it before and seen the movies and I wanted to read it again. The book follows Bilbo Baggins as he is tasked as a thief, by a group of dwarfs, to steal the Arkenstone. Along the way he meets new characters such as a magical wizard, a gremlin with a love for a golden ring, and an evil dragon Smaug. In the end, armies clash and some major characters die. The dwarves reclaim their home and Bilbo becomes a better person. I learned from the book that anyone can be a hero. I now see our world as an adventure waiting to happen. This book has a great plot line and great characters throughout the course of the novel. It adds in a great setting and awesome action. My only critique is that the book is kinda drawn out at points and can be a slow read. I would give the novel 8/10 stars and would recommend the book to anyone who loves fantasy.
