    It was a long two-hour drive but I’m Galadriel made it. I don’t know about you‚ but when given the choice between hanging around the house and making a thrilling voyage to Hobbiton‚ I’d go with option two.

    The Hobbit: A Review Introduction The book I read and analyzed was "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien . I shall discuss the plot and character development‚ setting‚ author’s style and my opinions about it. Plot Development There are too many characters in the story and so it is hard to follow and know each one of them. (There are many dwarves and it’s confusing.)

In the movie Bilbo goes down by himself‚ but when the dwarves hear Smaug they come down to rescue Bilbo (Jackson). This is effective because it changes
