Ever since I was ten, The Hobbit has remained my comfort book. I can't tell you how many times I have read it nor how many chuckles this book has incited.

Dave bought this for me and I'm glad so glad i read this at last! After watching Lord of the rings 50 times and reading it twice, i guess it was time...

The book is not as intricate as Lord of the Rings, but it's brilliant none the less. It's true adventure! I can't wait for the movie.
