Book Review of The Hobbit (Lord of the Rings, Prequel)

The Hobbit (Lord of the Rings, Prequel)
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


I read this one after I read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy ("Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King"). I'm personally glad I read it afterwards--it gives a lot of good back story but I am not sure if I would have read the other ones based just on this book. If you do plan to read all four, though, this isn't necessarily a bad place to start. It's just not as exciting (in my personal opinion) as the other books or the movies.
