I’m jumping back into Middle Earth this year. I love the world Tolkien created. I’ve read this book before, but this time it’s narrated by Andy Serkis, the voice behind Gollum. He has done this book and The Lord of The Rings. I had to pick these up. The Riddles in the Dark chapter, Ahh perfection with his narration. Bilbo is a perfectly content and quiet Hobbit until a wizard and dwarves show up talking about gold, dragons, and adventures. We along with Bilbo are swept up in an epic adventure. Bilbo will learn a great deal about himself, and we do as well. Serkis does a great job with the many songs. I loved getting to jump back into this world with one of my all-time favorite books.
