Well, I finally read this book! No, it didn't take me long to read it even though I read it a bit slow in purpose. But I wanted to read this book for quite some time. Now I did. With that out of the way, let's talk about this.
I'd say it was a 4.7 or 5, not sure. It wasn't the best book ever, but I didn't dislike anything about it either.
Many may be familiar with the plot in some ways but it's basically a bunch of dwarfs, a wizard Gandalf and a little hobbit who go into an adventure to retrieve the treasure they lost a long time ago, and now the dragon Smaug has it. So I loved Bilbo, he was a very MC, and how he kept wishing he was at home with some tea, it was adorable! Also, he was the hero who didn't want to be. He was chosen by the wizard Gandalf to go on this adventure for some reason, but he doesn't want to. But he really changes through his adventure. He actually becomes the main one of the group who is constantly saving them, having new ideas and plans. He becomes well known for the ring he has. Smaug wasn't really that bad, but still, he should die! Also, this book has a LOT of songs. Like elves and some other creatures sing a lot! Bilbo loves to sing too. There are also rhymes and riddles. The riddle battle between Bilbo and Gollum was very cool, I couldn't figure out the answers myself though.
Something that I found interesting was that this book is so old, it's made in the 30s and it's soo good! This book is like a narration from the author himself, it's unlike other books. Here the narrator seems to have been in the action too, and how he cuts some details because there's not enough time, it's very fun.
I gotta say this was pretty good! I was very happy with it. It's a chill one that didn't make me stressed or anything, it's so calm. I'd say it's good to be read in autumn/fall, it just has the vibes.
Go read it!!!
