The Hobbit
*****
Prelude to The Lord of the Rings series.


By J. R. R. Tolkien


What i like about this book: The fantasy, adventure, and magic.


Plot: A kindly old hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who ( apparently) has no taste for adventure is swept along on one by the wizard Gandalf and 13 dwarves (including the about-to-rise-to-power king of the dwarf race) to reclaim the dwarf mountain called the Lonely Mountain which was taken over by a greedy dragon named Smaug. And who knows? That hobbit might be the most courageous hobbit who ever lived! Or reach very close to the mantle anyways.


Oh and not for kids under 10 years of age as it is a bit scary.
