Bilbo Baggins never expected to be whisked out of his cozy hobbit hole, persuaded to embark on a perilous adventure with the wise wizard Gandalf and a band of thirteen vengeful dwarves.
Travelling across the lands of Middle-earth towards the threatening Lonely Mountain, where a bountiful treasure hoard lies protected by the fearsome dragon, Smaug. Bilbo discovers that there is more to life than living in a hobbit hole. Through marvelous meadows, winding mountain passes, eerie caves and haunted forests, the group must overcome challenges and find their courage because their most dangerous task is at the end of the journey. Along the way, Bilbo finds the hero inside himself, saves the dwarves many times and surprises himself, for he did not know he was capable of brave feats. As Gandalf said at the beginning,
"There is more to him than meets the eye."
Filled with thrilling escapades, captivating, cunning moments and heroic action, you will find yourself enticed to read more by J.R.R. Tolkien!
One feature I enjoyed about The Hobbit was the exceptional character development! Bilbo started out as a timid little hobbit, who was frightened at the idea of an adventure in a place that he does not know. Throughout the book though, Bilbo Baggins found that he was dauntless in the face of danger.
One aspect I would change would be the beginning of the novel, for it is really quite sluggish and did not capture my interest immediately but I assure you that it is a sterling read if you stick with it!
