Part of me feels like this timeless classic hardly needs a review. But I am going to do it anyway. First off, say Bilbo three times fast without snickering. Go on, I will wait over here for the giggles to subside.
All in all, I greatly enjoy Tolkiens simple plot and expert word play with character and place names. For the linguists out there, Tolkiens works are riddled with ancient myth and cryptic language references. If you get some of these, you can sit around and feel extra superior as you read your special hardback edition at the cafe while drinking your spiffy fancy tea .
