The stirring adventure that begins The Lord of the Rings, the greatest fantasy epic of all timeWhen Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton.Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone—himself included—ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.

"I’m really late to the party. I had to google to see what book I should read first. That’s how late I am. I didn’t watch the movies and hadn’t read the books. Not at all what I expected. It’s definitely worth reading. #classic"

"One of my favorites. Read the first time as a teenager and several times since then. But if you're going to watch the movie, I'd go for the 80s animated cartoon instead of Peter Jackson's bloated trilogy. Lord of the Rings was amazing but it didn't work for the Hobbit... "

"This book is adorable. If you like classic stories but can’t sit through reading the original trilogy of LOTR because of the long descriptions then this book is a nice introduction into that universe with less word fluff and more action in between rest periods. "
