Review: The Hobbit

The Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien, young adult classic, ages 9 and up.
5 out of 5 stars

This book is an important preface to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. We'll follow Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit, Gandalf the Wizard and several Dwarfs through caves and fighting orcs and goblins. Bilbo will find Gollum and the Ring, and finally, Bilbo will come face to face with the terrifying dragon Smaug. Very exciting! Classic precursor to Lord of the Rings. I like it because you are introduced to some important characters, like Gandalf the Wizard, and he plays a major roll later on in the Trilogy.
