"The Hobbit" is a wonderful book that fans of fantasy should absolutely read. The prelude to what is considered J.R.R. Tolkein's masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Hobbit" tells a somewhat simpler tale but is in no way worse than the books which come after it. This story contains many of the established scenes and ideas from which authors draw today, and the clever languages, songs, poems, and riddles sprinkled throughout the text are delightful. Action and suspense scenes are handled wonderfully, too. This is really a book that has a bit of everything thrown in! Recommended greatly, especially this illustrated version which has a lot of great, high-quality paintings of the magical plot interspersed with the text.
