A review by halaagmod
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
I'm not sure what it was specifically about it—was it the poor pacing, the dry writing, the awkward dialogue, the impersonal characters? I'm not sure. But regardless, it's just...not at all engaging. I wanted to just suck it up and power through it but after nearly two years and three failed attempts to finish, I doubt I'll actually get the motivation to finish it, which was wholly disappointing seeing how influential and praised that this book is. I just wish it weren't so mind-numbingly boring.
