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.
