it was amazing

I read the first book of TLOTR a few years ago and was completely underwhelmed by it. I certainly wouldn't have read this, had me daughter not asked me to read it aloud to her. What a lucky thing that she did! This was genuinely heartwarming and full of adventure. Not a word was wasted (unlike in TLOTR, where entire chapters left my head swimming with unnecessary detail), and the characters - the entire hoard of them - were beautifully described.

Marquise What do my eyes see! This Hobbit is extremely happy that Mr Andy loved this book, and this Hobbit thinks he's written a great review. 🥰 Mr Andy is forgiven for LOTR. 😄
