The dwarves are angry at a dragon, Smaug, for taking all of their wealth. The precious gems are worth more than gold. In order to get their wealth back the must kill the dragon.
But traveling to the Lonely Mountain is going to be a pain, 'cause they must travel though a creepy forest, meet trolls and come in close encounters with goblins to get there.
The hobbit, the wizard and 14 dwarves have a long way to go. But what’s an adventure without eagles, goblins or trolls?

This has to be the longest 263 page book ever.
The book itself was really good. But when I have to fight though each and every page because it is written so weird, I'm not going to like it.
It felt like I couldn’t take a breath because the book is almost written like a poem. Even thought I was reading in head, it made my brain hurt because each paragraph only had like, one period. Now I know how second grade teachers must feel when reading a students work with no periods....
The plot was so heavy. Each chapter had a climax. It was really good, but at the same time, a book is not all about the plot.
I don't think I could say one trait about the Hobbit because the book had no characterization in it. It was very strange. But the author used plot well enough that it wasn’t to noticeable.
I loved the imagery in this book. I could see everything in this book, which made it feel almost real. It was definitely my favorite thing in this book.
I can't stand third person narrative when the book is not a fairytale. I understand that the author was trying to make it into a fairytale by doing this, and it did make feel more like a fairytale, but the book did not need it because the imagery was very well done.
All and all, a fairly good book.
3.75 out of 5 stars.
