's review

really liked it

Finally I've read this ultimate fantasy classic. I really liked it, but can't say I loved it. Maybe cos it's lacking epic atmosphere, I've expected it would have. Bilbo's adventures were funny and exciting but not unexpected thanks to the movie adaptation. Although it's a definite must-read to all fantasy fans.

William Schram I didn't see the movie adaptations because I couldn't see how you could split The Hobbit into three movies.

Persephone's Pomegranate I prefer the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Still a good book though.
