The hobbit is a classically written tale about a fun character going on an adventure with many tribulations and events, this novel isn’t unpleasant in any sense but it also isn’t extraordinary in any sense. It can feel more like a list of events happening to a list of characters rather than tribulations happening to people. Your care of the characters is minimal till the end of the story, there are so many characters and you have no reason to feel attached to any of them. The writing is a saving grace, its orator has a sense of humor and the writing is playful and witty, though most of the story is dull the ending is exciting and wraps the story up nicely and is a moment when you finally can connect with the characters.  6/10
