Lily (starlightmoonlight) | 191 comments I love The Hobbit! Also the BotM read in my group! :)


Dreamer   | 5128 comments #5 I love this one so much:
Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway.

1. Who is your favorite character? Bilbo. Bilbo is me and I am Bilbo.
2. Who is your least favorite character? I don't know. I loved them all, I think. Okay, I think the trolls, if they count. But they're supposed to be dislikable so I'm not sure that they count. Anyway, please don't make me choose the one I like less from the "good" ones :)
3. If you could change one thing in the book, what would it be? I think I would add some more personality to some of the dwarves. For some of them, we knew absolutely nothing except from the name. Which kinda makes sense cause they were soooo many.
4. What do you think of the ending? (with a spoiler tag, please)\
(view spoiler)
