Kein Titelbild — J. R. R. Tolkien: The Hobbit (2002, Houghton Mifflin)

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001).

I read this for the first time several years ago, it was the start of my love of reading as an adult.

This time around, I listened to the audiobook and it was even better than the ebook I read.

The story is simple but amazing. Each chapter flows into the next with excitement lurking around every corner. Watching Bilbo become the hobbit he is destined to be is so enjoyable. Some of it is a little silly and a little dated, but it is a midgrade book from the 1930’s so it gets a big pass.

I forgot how many songs there were in the book, but thankfully the narrator did them justice and made them really enjoyable.
