*2019 REVIEW (3/5)
I thought this book was quite good. It dragged on a bit at times but it’s a great plot and the characters are all interesting in their own way. Enjoyed it.
*2015 REVIEW (5/5)*
Bilbo is a hobbit from the far-away land called Hobbiton. He, like all hobbits, hate adventures and big active moments, so when the dwarves and the wizard Gandalf came and took him out, he was a bit out of his depths around them!
The dwarves need a burglar, and Gandalf the wizard tells them that he knows a good burglar…Bilbo! Bilbo is asked to help them claim the treasure Smaug the dragon is sitting on, as it used to belong to the dwarves. It is dangerous and bone-grinding adventure, but Bilbo does it!
Scared and frightened but being very optimistic, Bilbo goes on the huge adventure and gets into all sorts of trouble and mischief! He changes from being timid to very brave. Whenever the dwarves were in trouble, he would go and save them; when he needed to go into the cave of Smaug, he did, and without question, either.
This book was brilliant, but I think for my sort of age it’s a bit long. Though it is so, I like how J.R.R. made his own fantastic pictures of Hobbiton and the elves. His imagination really flows and this book is so good and highly recommended!
Want to find out about cute little Bilbo Baggins the hobbit? You’ll have to find this great read on your shelf – it just has to be there!
Wonderfully well-written book, little characters with their own adorable personalities, lovely, lovely pictures J.R.R. drew himself – it is a great must-read!
