The Hobbit

The Hobbit

The Hobbit

This week I read the J.R.R Tolkien’s graphic novel The Hobbit. This classic novel is in the genre of fantasy. First I must mention that this book was originally intended to be a fairy tale story for children, however the adventure and action in this book is more suitable for adults.
The Hobbit is a story of Bilbo Baggins, and he really isn’t your normal looking hobbit, he is more of a plumper man who loves to eat (which are what Hobbits are all about Fooooood!) and is a quiet and content hobbit that keeps to himself more often than none. But one day his whole life get turned upside down when the wizard Gandalf comes wanting him to go on a quest with him and many other dwarves to retrieve the dwarves stolen treasure. This story first takes place in a more happy and magical surrounding and then we head into a dark gloomy setting and throughout the chapters in this novel you will find yourself reading about many different kinds of mystical creatures such as elves, goblins, wolves, dragons and many more. All these people go on this quest with Bilbo but when it all comes down to it, it is Bilbo himself that must face the dragon Smaug.
In my Opinion I think that this book is very interesting read and there is lots of adventure it, so if you have any time on your hands and wish to read something then I recommend to you my friend The Hobbit.
