Week 6 - The Hobbit



By far one of the most original and happily imaginative books for children that are out there. This is a far more light-hearted tale than the Lord of the Rings and introduces to the world the unforgettable Bilbo, Gandalf and Gollum. The Hobbit is a book that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike and authors from J.K. Rowling to David Gemmell class it as an inspiration upon their own work.  Though, I guess this is almost always exactly the same in all of Tolkien’s work. The Hobbit is one of the longest books I have ever read, because though it is relatively not that long it feels very long and over drawn just because of the writing style. When reading this book it can feel difficult because of all of the different aspects and adventures in it. Definitely not the best book I have ever read and has many flaws and issues but is still a good piece of well structured writing and does deserve some credit at least.­ Though I do enjoy all of the different adventures that go throughout the novel and how each chapter is kind of separate but still come together in the end. For example, at the beginning it was quite humorous in a way that today’s readers might find funny, rather than being old-fashioned.
