Without a doubt Corey Olsen loves The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Folk will often take the exploration of a story as finding underlying themes where there isn't any claiming "a cigar is sometimes just a cigar" but Corey Olsen's book takes what already exists in the text and makes it flourish under a scholarly eye. It's like watching a movie you've only seen on a standard television suddenly in a theatre or a large HDTV. Anyone that loves or merely likes the Hobbit will immediately upon finishing this book want to take the journey to the Lonely Mountain once again reading with a new appreciation of Bilbo's journey of balance between his courageous Tookish side and his wise Bagginish side.
