The best book I ever read. The reason why I loved The Hobbit is the way Bilbo changed from the beginning to the end. He was like most hobbits quiet, doesn't go on many adventures, and smokes his pipeweed. However, when he goes on the adventure he changed a lot from being a coward to a hero. I also loved the adventures and the songs. My favorite part was when they were captured by the spiders and it was all up to Bilbo to save the dwarves. I LOVE this novel and I hope you read it. I suggest you read it at the age of 9 and above.
