this past week i went on into reading The Hobbit. my reasoning for choosing this book is because i had read the three lord of the rings books, as previously blogged about. this book was fairly good compared to the other three. it began with Bilbo Baggens and him going on an adventure through the smokey mountains and through the elvish cities. him and his crew of hobbits traveled through a brush of woods and stumbled upon a group of trolls, who ended up kidnapping these half lings. they ended up staying the night tied up, but during this the trolls were bickering and arguing on how they may go about cooking up the half sized humans for the best meal. this fighting ended up lasting so long that the sun came up, and turned the trolls to stone....
later on in this adventure, Bilbo ended up alone and lured into Gollum's cave. he ran across a ring though while walking through this deep crevice, and was mesmerized by its power to turn him invisible. now quietly walking through the cave, he ran into the creature who the ring previously belonged to. Bilbo, not wanting to give up the ring, asked the creature to guess what was in his pocket, and Gollum could have it. he gave him three tries, and all three times Gollum was wrong. mistakenly the creature calls the ring precious, not a ring, which ends up making him loose the ring.
this book was surprisingly good, and leads into the trilogy well. the way this book was written, and described through its details made it extremely easy, and exciting to read. id recommend this to most.
