In this book the wretched ring is discovered in a cave by Bilbo who did not know its true powers and evil, so he kept it and had it for many years, as he had a very long life, even for a hobbit, who tend to live beyond 100 years anyway. The Hobbit follows the early life and adventures of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and the wizard, Gandalf the Grey. According to the prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien originally intended the story to be one volume divided internally into separate books, but publishers decided to print three separate novels, therefore creating the trilogy. The Hobbit was published in 1937 as its own novel, and The Lord of the Rings followed more than ten years later because of debates amongst the publishers. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, and his prequel to the trilogy, The Hobbit. I’m positive I am not steering you wrong by mentioning and praising J.R.R. As I read on, I am 100 percent sure that nothing in the books could sway me from loving them, and basically worshiping them and their author beyond sanity. I have also seen all of the movies based on these books countless times. I have read the prequel to the series, the first book of the series, and the first half of the second book of the series.

I think I would've liked it a lot better if The Hobbit was adapted into a mini series instead of a movie trilogy, because the way it reads makes it feel like something you'd read a chapter a night to your kids.For my final update of the season, I am going to suggest a series of books that, in all honesty, I have not completely read yet myself. I found that where LOTR felt like I was slowly trekking along with the Fellowship, The Hobbit reads more action-packed, where at first Bilbo is meeting Gandalf and the dwarves, then Bilbo's trying to pickpocket trolls, then they're met with a big goblin army, then Bilbo's doing riddles and stealing a magic ring from Gollum in the dark, and the adventures continue. I'd only picked up The Hobbit after craving some fantasy and out of curiosity, and found that it couldn't be more different from LOTR. A few years back after watching the excellent Lord of the Rings films I tried to get into the LOTR books to compare the films with the books, but I found the long descriptive writing hard to digest, especially compared to the action packed films, which caused me to drop the series midway through the first book and put me off trying to read anything Tolkien for awhile.
