The Hobbit By J.R.R. Tolkien

Hello         What is a hobbit? Well, a hobbit is a mythical creature created J.R.R. Tolkien. A hobbit is about half the size of an average man, and they live in a peaceful country with almost no history of war. They also like to stay in their hobbit holes were they are comfortable. If you want to know more about the hobbits go read the book, but for now this is all you need to know.
         We start in the magical land of the shire. Here is where a very special hobbit lives named Bilbo Baggins. He is one of the many respectable hobbits. One day Gandalf comes and talks to Bilbo about going on this adventure with him. And with Bilbo being a hobbit he kindly refuses for they like to stay where they are comfortable. Then on the next day 13 Dwarves show up in his house along with Gandalf, they eat almost all his food in his house, and Bilbo doesn't like it one bit. He just wants them to get out of his house. So, he lets them stay one more night and they leave him a note in the morning. He decides to go on that adventure, and runs to meet them. On there trip they have many obstacles in their way. First they go and see Elrond at The Last Homely House. He gives them horses and supplies before they go into the Misty Mountains. Then they get banged up while in the mountains, it rains and snows whole bunch, they run into some goblins. Then Gandalf has to go and save them, but not Bilbo. Bilbo gets lost where he finds a ring. He then plays a game of riddles with Gollum. Gollum is a very nasty creature. Then when Bilbo finally makes it out they are attacked by goblins and wolves, only to be saved by huge eagles.  In the end Bilbo ends up really rich and the Dwarves get back their gold and mountain.
           This book is truly amazing. It is very entertaining and exciting in my eyes. The reason why is that it just has so many obstacles the characters have to go through and it makes it exciting. And then they always go from one problem to another it's like give these guys a break already. Although they do get some breaks throughout the book it's not that many.
           If you are looking for a good book to read let this book be it. This book is very adventurous it is filled with many obstacles and many fun parts in it. A+.

I personally thought this book dragged on FOREVER. I had the hardest time finishing. What did you find so interesting?
