This was my first time reading any Tolkien, so without any reliance on nostalgia I can confidently tell that I enjoyed every page.
From what I've heard of the Lord of the Rings books, the hobbit definitely seem like the lighter option. I had been warned that Tolkien has a habit of getting to into the details, no matter how insignificant. However, I did not find that to be an issue at all. Any insignificant detail was only briefly mentioned and helps make the world feel more well-rounded and interesting. I got incredibly invested in the characters and their motivations for this journey.
It has most likely been said many times, but the one wish I have for this book is for just a few female characters in the mix.

Moderate: Death, Fatphobia, Violence, and Blood
Minor: Animal death
Warning for the f-slur. In this context it means a bundle of stick used for a fire. It pops up in a song in chapter three.rileyeffective's review against another edition
