J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy...Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies worldwide and established itself as a modern classic.

"A great book that is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings, centering on the Uncle of Frodo Baggins named Bilbo. When a wizard adds him to a company of dwarves that are going on a journey to take back the mountain home, Bilbo will have a greater impact on history for witch he never understands!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 audiobook reread of my favorite as a teen. The narration by Andy Serkis (Gollum) is stellar (except for the singing)"

"Classic, but not as good as Lord of the Rings. That is the best of Tolkien."

"Tolkien’s writing should be a study on what it’s like living with ADHD. "
