I only wish I knew how all the songs sounded! It got a bit slow in the Mirkwood forest, and then some parts felt skipped over, but overall it was a lovely story I can’t wait to read to/with my future children! I giggled at times like a child myself :3

this was a fun adventure. i had seen the movies and decided to read the book after, and will follow up with other tolkien books. 

it was nice reading about the adventures of bilbo et al. i liked the tone of this a lot more than the movies and found it to be a very relaxing read. it was very nice to sit on the couch and read with a cup of tea. 

it was slow, but that could also be chalked up to the print edition i was reading since it had small font and not a lot of paragraphing or spacing. 

i highly recommend this still, i almost wish there was more detail like how the movie creators expand on a lot of the scenes, but at the same time it felt nice that it was not so detailed in the book which left it more open ended and up to the interpretation of the reader.

This is a dramatisation of The Hobbit with brilliant actors and music that bring the characters and world to life. Sometimes the sound effects were a but loud, which made it difficult to follow the dialogue at a few points. Overall really enjoyed.
