Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.

This book is so so awesome.But I never watched the movie.I think anty body who reads it will love it.

I totally agree!!!

This book may get boring if you just read it without any enthusiasm, (so I had to read it twice to really like this book) but if you read it WITH enthusiasm, you'll love it. Just keep reading until you become Bilbo!
