I do love Both The Hobbit and The lord of the rings and Their whole universe, but I will always think that this books plot is rather pointless , not in the sense one might understand that but I’ve always found the whole mission that Bilbo and the dwarfs was embarking on, is rather pointless.

In contrast to The lord of the rings where people or rather the whole world is depending on Frodo and co.
In The Hobbit I just don’t think that there is a point in getting Bilbo and the dwarfs out on an “adventure”.

But despite this it is an incredible well written book, that I will never get tired of reading.
