The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finally! Yes, that's the word that comes out of my mouth whenever I think about having read The Hobbit. Finally! About a million people talk about this book on daily basis in the country I was living in for the last one year. Tolkien is still the most loved professor at Oxford and one of the celebrities we take pride in. I myself have been to the pub where he used to write and edit his books, have visited his grave which is covered with thousands of thank you letters and notes from fans of all ages! As for this book, it is a book that can easily divide a table between people who have read it and the people who will read it. (Yes, Tolkien lovers are optimists and believe in the day when everyone shall be a Tolkien lover!!)I was always in the will-read-it-someday group and I have FINALLY converted.

And my verdict, you ask me? Was the conversion worth it? Or is it one of the many things that are just over-hyped?

Well, my answer is, I am at the same stage that I was in nearly 11 years ago when I read my firstHarry Potter book. Please DO NOT waste my time by asking me to review it. I have to finish The Lord of the Rings now so, let us talk when I am done with that! Where is my book? WHERE IS MY BOOK?
