Obviously The Hobbit is a complete five out of five read.

Tolkien's writing is, to me, very unique in the best way possible. He is descriptive but yet never truly describes anyone fully. The little side notes (written like this) are a fun touch, too.

Then the story itself is just good. I already knew it would be, but it is such a fun story and you really root for Bilbo through all the pages. The characters are all lovely and different from one another.

I liked the “sudden” ending too of the book. It makes me wonder what kind of avontures he had between the end and the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring. I hope he had many good ones.

Lastly, I thoroughly enjoyed the drawings and songs in this book. It truly gave the book an unique feeling.

Anyway,
I was already in love with Middle-Earth, because of the movies that I watched before I read the books (oops) but reading the books made me love this world and its characters even more.
Now that the book is finished I'm feeling that little empty hole inside me
