Smaug parecía profundamente dormido cuando Bilbo espió una vez más desde la entrada. ¡Pero fingía estar dormido! ¡Estaba vigilando la entrada del túnel!... Sacado de su cómodo agujero-hobbit por Gandalf y una banda de enanos, Bilbo se encuentra de pronto en medio de una conspiración que pretende apoderarse del tesoro de Smaug el Magnífico, un enorme y muy peligroso dragón... «Todos los que aman esos libros para niños que pueden ser leídos y releídos por adultos han de tomar buena nota de que una nueva estrella ha aparecido en esa constelación.» C.S. LEWIS
I was a child
The Hobbit is the first of Tolkien's stories set in the Middle Earth... Actually this book needs no introduction as majority of people are probably aware of its existance and know how Tolkien pioneered the modern fantasy genre. However, it still holds strongly to this day. This epic story of a hobbit embarking on an unexpected journey with a team of dwarves and a wizard just really hooks you in and the world around is built with passion and full of surprises. I love it and now I understand why it's so praised by many.
The book is well written and has a unique story, that no other book (even in the same genre) has. The story is an easily imaginable one, that whilst reading and afterwards I could picture exactly what happened in my mind.
Amazing book :)

I read it years ago (70's) and I spent many of hours reading the trilogy in high school when I should have been doing other things. I do not regret it though.
When I was a kid, it was hard to read, but interesting at the same time. I think, it's a good book to help children learn that patience reaps rewards. Of a cool story in this particular case.
I mean it’s a classic. How could you hate on it?
