So glad I pushed through this time. The books beginning is very slow and lacks the feeling of a believable adventure. Once Bilbo begins to learn how to be a burglar that’s when the story begins to really pick up. It’s does make you think, “Why was Peter Jackson doing?”

This is the another attempt of many at trying to get through the Hobbit. It’s a fantasy classic that I have *never* been able to get through. Today I made it further than previous attempts. My consistent struggle with reading Tolkien remains the same. However, a recent friend suggested that I read Tolkien as a “world builder” and not as a novelist. Here goes something!
