it was nice reading about the adventures of bilbo et al. i liked the tone of this a lot more than the movies and found it to be a very relaxing read. it was very nice to sit on the couch and read with a cup of tea.
it was slow, but that could also be chalked up to the print edition i was reading since it had small font and not a lot of paragraphing or spacing.
i highly recommend this still, i almost wish there was more detail like how the movie creators expand on a lot of the scenes, but at the same time it felt nice that it was not so detailed in the book which left it more open ended and up to the interpretation of the reader.

I took a break while reading it for the first time, so I started listening to it on audiobook as a refresher, until I caught up to where I’d left off in my physical copy. However, Phil Dragash’s audiobook with the soundscape composed by Howard Shore HOOKED me and I couldn’t stop listening. They do a phenomenal job at bringing out what’s beautiful about Tolkien’s writing, and I immediately wanted to listen to the next one. It’s on Spotify under the show name Roads Go Ever On and I highly recommend, if you want to hear such a great story come to life 🥰
