The hobbit is such a cosy adventure story. The audiobook read by Andy Serkis was one of the finest I've listened to and he was perfect for it especially since we got to listen to his own character, Gollum. Little Bilbo was so adorable and I loved his dialogue and thoughts. The illustrations were also useful in picturing how middle earth looked. I really like how Tolkien wrote this for his children as it proves to be a great story for all ages. I find it astonishing that this was published in the 1930s yet it's still read and loved today. Tolkien truly is a master storyteller.

Its been very long since I last read it, when i found a good audiobook version and listened to it. It is a nice adventure story, and I love how often there are songs, and Tolkien has a lot of fun with it and the fairy tale/children story tropes (the repeating of their names specially), but i had forgotten how much of assholes the people are to eachother here, the dwarves are constantly mean to Bilbo and another, beside Balin who is a cool guy.
