The Hobbit is one of the most different books I have read. It is all about dragons and dwarves so if you do not like that type of genre, then I don't reccommend this book for you. This book was not my favourite at the beginning. Truthfully, I really didn't like it unitl later in the book. It is very slow moving, so if you are not very patient, don't read this book. I enjoy this book, but it took a while for me to get into it. I am actually happy that I kept on reading it because it is very good when it gets to around page 200. Also, if you are not a strong reader this book will take you a very long time to read because the words are very tiny and it can get frustrating when you read very slow. I reccommend this book to anyone who is interested in the genre and is above the age of 11.
