The Hobbit

The Hobbit a story of hobbits, wizards, trolls, dwarfs and dragons a great fantasy novel. This is the beginning of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and introduces you into a world of fantasy and adventure. The story begins in Bilbos hole at bag end and the wizard Gandalf who persuades him to go on an adventure to reclaim the dwarfs treasure from the evil dragon Smaug. The journey is full of danger with trolls and goblins capturing Billbo and a disgusting creature named Gollum who wants to eat him because he stole his ring. Bilbo sneaks into the mountain which Smaug lives and he reveals his weakness which is under his scales near his heart. Bilbo steals a golden cup from Smaugs cave and becomes furious to burn lake town to the ground but Bard the archer knows his weakness and slays the dragon. After the dragon is slane an army of goblins march on the mountain and the elves, dwarfs, and men of lake town and Mirkwood join together to defeat them and Beorn and the eagles help them defeat the goblins. After the great adventure bilbo returns to his home with Gandalf and continues to live his life with the familiar comforts of home. The Hobbit was a very good fantasy story it was not one of my favorites but it was a nice beginning to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Overall The Hobbit was a very good fantasy novel that kept me interested and want to keep reading.
