I chose to read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien because I thought it would be fun and I liked the green binding and the gold picture and the gold elf writing.
The Hobbit was an adventure story where the characters make friends. The protagonist is Bilbo Baggins (the Hobbit) and the other characters were the dwarfs and Gandalf the wizard. Gandalf and the dwarfs helped Bilbo when they were going on the adventure together. It took place days and nights in the woods and the mountains. First they went on an adventure and there, Bilbo Baggins found the ring that made him Invisible. Then there was a camp of people that slayed a dragon named Smaug. Then there was a battle between the goblins and the dwarfs and Bilbo and the same camp. Of course the dwarfs won. Then Bilbo and the dwarfs went home.
I learned how to read the map that was in the book. Sometimes I looked at the map to see where the characters were in the story. The best part of the book was when the dwarfs fought the Goblins because it was exciting to use my imagination while reading that part. I felt hopeful in some parts and happy in some other parts.
I liked The Hobbit because it was fun, just like I thought it would be. It was easy to keep track of what was going on in the story. I would like to recommend the book to friends because I think they would like to read it. I've already started reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien that is the second book in the collection because I want to go into the whole story of the hobbits and their adventures.
