Before LOTR there was the Hobbit

mcmaktoby · 04-04-2006, 05:56 AM

before I read the LOTR series my sister introduce a book to me The Hobbit and from the beginning I really enjoyed how Bilbo Baggins got the ring from gollum and how he use it to slay the dragon...

Yah I got the books for my 8th birthday. Great books and I can't believe they left The Hobbit out of the movie series. it was one of the most informative books in the series. I hate it when they adapt books to movies but the movies came out all right. I'm not a huge fan of them but they made them without changing too much stuff around.

I liked the hobbit.

Been years since I read it, but I still remember roughly the plot. After reading it I went on to read Lord of the Rings. I think there is a film, but I think it might be a cartoon.

Yah it was a cartoon....Old one at that.

It is really amazing how JRR Tolkien captures every readers imagination

I first read The Hobbit when I was 7, and I really enjoyed it. I came by a copy if it a few years back, and I've read it so much that it is worn and tattered.

My favorite thing about Tolkien is his imagery, meaning the way that he describes the scenery, and the like. I felt as I was travelling along with Thorin & Company as they trod along the rough, and sometimes beautiful terrain. I felt cold and waterlogged right along with Bilbo as he floated down the Forest River atop the barrel. Tolkien has a gift for drawing a reader into his story and making them a part of it.

I've got many of J. R. R. Tolkien's books. I'vegot the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. They're quite good, though I like the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings best. I haven't finsihed reading Unfinished Tales yet. So I guess that's what it is for me right now - unfinished.

The Silmarillion seems to me quite boring, however, if you read it exactly after (or before) you read LOTR and the Hobbit, it's an amazingly good source of extra information. Thumbs up for Silmarillion!
