About the author
So good. Must Read.
If you want to escape your own world and dive into one where danger and adventure lurk around every corner, “The Hobbit” might just be for you. In it you will find extraordinary characters, unlikely heroes, menacing foes, and a timeless story that weaves them all perfectly together. At the heart of the story is Bilbo Baggins, a perfectly plain hobbit content to live a quiet life, who never expected that adventure would literally come knocking on his front door. Before long he finds himself (not altogether unwillingly) thrust into a quest to help Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves in reclaiming their lost home and treasure from the dreadful dragon Smaug. Tolkien’s masterful writing brings this adventure to life in a way few authors could have. His rich descriptions create landscapes that come alive in your mind. Whether it’s the lush Shire or the dusty halls within the Lonely Mountain, you feel like you’re right there with Bilbo and company. But it’s not just Tolkien’s masterful world-building that makes “The Hobbit” such an incredible read. He infused his characters with depth and charm, and gave you a front row seat to all their incredible development. Bilbo, in particular, evolved from a timid hobbit to a courageous adventurer. You can’t help but cheer for him as he grows throughout the book. My favorite part though is that Tolkien made sure we were never to think Bilbo became unafraid. Like any great hero, he wrestled with his fears, but did the hard things anyway. “The Hobbit” truly is an enchanting read that balances edge-of-your-seat action with quiet moments of reflection. It seems less of a book and more a doorway into a world you will want to keep visiting over and over again.
