So I finished The Hobbit and I was a little disappointed. I didn't really like the ending. I won't give it away for those who haven't read it. But I guess I didn't like it, because of how the story was so focused on the plot. I know that sounds idiosyncratic. But I particulary enjoy books that have characters with a lot of depth to them. I like getting to know characters. The Hobbit just talked about what they did and sometimes gave personal descriptions about the characters. The characters are what drive the plot so to know how the act and how their minds work is extemely important, in my opinion.

I didn't care so much for the ending but you do fall in love with the characters. It's fun to read about that characters and in some way you actually start to grow with them and they start to seem more real. I really like J.R.R. Tolkin and his writting styles. You should read some of his other books.
I'm starting to read Fellowship of the Ring.
That's my second favorite out of that whole series. My favorite would have to be The Return of the King. The Fellowship of the Rings is the funniest one out of the whole series, so enjoy that. :]
