The wizard Gandalf marks the hobbit Bilbo Baggins as a burglar for a company of thirteen dwarves headed by Thorin Oakenshield, who want to retake the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. Bilbo leaves his comfortable home in Bag End and faces three trolls, goblins in the mountains, and the creature Gollum, whose ring makes its wearer invisible. By the time they reach the mountain, Bilbo has become the only one who can talk to the dragon.
An approachable adventure with good humor, it is a natural choice for young readers and for anyone planning to approach Tolkien's larger work. It rewards you with a likable protagonist and clear stakes.
Clear-cut and escapist; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
