Amo muito esse livro, e as anotações são curiosidades muito interessantes, e tem vários desenhos de outras edições de o hobbit de outros países que também são muito interessantes

halaagmod's review against another edition
I'm not sure what it was specifically about it—was it the poor pacing, the dry writing, the awkward dialogue, the impersonal characters? I'm not sure. But regardless, it's just...not at all engaging. I wanted to just suck it up and power through it but after nearly two years and three failed attempts to finish, I doubt I'll actually get the motivation to finish it, which was wholly disappointing seeing how influential and praised that this book is. I just wish it weren't so mind-numbingly boring.

How on Earth am I meant to rate this properly? It is a book which has influenced some of my favourites and just about everyone. Once I got into it I really enjoyed it! It is a shame I deemed it boring from the first chapters as a child, I think if I'd read the rest I'd have found it has many elements I loved (minus the spiders >_<). Luckily I didn't remember much from the first and third of the films (I missed the second one...), so I got to experience it fully. Definitely getting my hands on The Lord of the Rings next!
Bilbo is the guy ever. Love that little man.

While I enjoyed the descriptions of the Hobbit hole and the connections that developed between Bilbo and the dwarves, there was still a lot of fighting and warfare. Sort of a weird juxtaposition between cozy and violent.
