"The Hobbit" A Book Review

Here is a very timely article written by one of our avid library users.  I wish to extend a very special "Thank you" to Connor Farner for his contribution. 

                                                                       "The Hobbit"  Book Review

     "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien is a fantastic read.  "The Hobbit" is a fantasy-adventure

classic that captured my imagination as it has for many generations of readers.  I recommend

that you read this book and if you already have read it, do so again because it is a timeless

classic worth a second read.

     The story of "The Hobbit" begins in the peaceful town of Hobbiton where the equally

peaceful Bilbo Baggins lives.  But Bilbo's peaceful life is interrupted when Gandalf

the wizard asks Bilbo to join him, Thorin Oakenshield, and his band of dwarfs to

reclaim their families fortune from the evil dragon, Smaug.  Bilbo at first refuses, but his

adventurous side takes over and he agrees to join them.  Throughout Bilbo's journey he will

see middle earth's most eccentric places and people.  At one point of Bilbo's adventures he

even finds a magical ring.  So join Bilbo Baggins on his heart pounding adventures by picking

up a copy of "The Hobbit" at your local library.

     Also after you finish reading "The Hobbit" make sure you go the movie now showing at

I-Max theaters.  But if you miss it in theaters make sure you get the DVD or Blu-Ray at your

local library when it becomes available. ( DVD release date should be March 19, 2013)
