The Book: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Page Count: 317 pages
Summary: Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit (about half the size of an average human who lives in a well-furnished, cozy hole in the ground), is recruited by a band of dwarves to retrieve treasure that is guarded by the great dragon, Smaug.
Thoughts: I had read The Lord of the Rings in high school, as well as watched the movies. In anticipation of the upcoming Hobbit films, I decided it would be in my best interest to read The Hobbit. I can't believe I didn't read this earlier. It's such a great example of literary genius. I loved this book and I recommend it to everyone.
Rating: 4 out of 5
