Rating:****
Recommendation: This book is great for people who love adventures. It is a classic fiction book about fairy tale creatures such as dragons, elves, dwarves, wizards, and hobbits. I would not recommend it to people who do not enjoy unrealistic tales and who do not like adventure stories.
Summery: The story is about a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Hobbits never go on adventures, but in this story, Bilbo gets in an adventure that will change his life forever. He meets a wizard who was friends with his parents, and soon finds out that the wizard (Gandalf) was planning on having Bilbo join a group of dwarves who are heading of to a place full of strange creatures to fight of a dragon that had taken over the dwarves' treasures and drove the dwarves away from their land. This is when the journy begins. They fought trolls, met elves who give them hospitality, They go through mountains, in which they get captured by Goblins. The goblins take them inside their cave, but luckily Gandolf saves them with his magic and they run off. Bilbo gets lost inside the cave and end up in the hidding place of a creature called Gollum. On the way there he finds a mistirious ring which makes him invisable, which he uses many times to get out of trouble. On his way to the mountain in which the dragon is at, they meet many other creatures and also fight many. They fight wolves, escape from wood-elves, but also meet Beorn who is part bear and helpes them, and they go inside a lake-town which also help them with materials needed to move on. Once they get to the mountain where the dragon is at, they try to find the secret entrance which they learned about, and once they do, they go to fight the dragon and at last recover their land and their treasure back.
Explanation of Rating:I think the book was pretty good. I liked all the things that they do in order to go to their destination and fight the dragon. The tale is a classic and is very enjoyable. One of the only reasons why I did not give it five stars is because I do not like the way the auther goes about in the story. He goes from one week to another and does not make the transitions very smooth. other than that the book was terrific.
Favorite Passage: "Where iss it? Where iss it? Losst it is, my precious, lost, lost! Curse us and crush us, my precious is lost!"
I don't know why but I love the way the author made Gollum sound. The way he expresses himself allows me to really get into the story!
