![]() ![]() I reread it myself so that we could discuss it. I also like being able to talk about books with my son since we’re both big readers.He recently had to read To Kill a Mockingbird for school. Regardless, I’m glad I read The Hobbit so that I have a better idea of what Tolkien is all about. I found myself putting it down for long stretches at a time. I really liked the parts with Gollum but I found the rest confusing and it just didn’t hold my interest very well. He was really excited when I told him I’d read The Hobbit.I’m sorry to say that reading it did not make me like fantasy more. I wanted to read at least a little something by Tolkien because I thought it was really sweet of him to want to share books he loved with me. ![]() ![]() Plus, I’ve seen all of the LOTR movies and I didn’t understand a single thing that happened in any of them.I agreed to read The Hobbit as a compromise, primarily because it’s shorter and would take away less of my reading time. He’s been after me to read the Lord of the Rings triolgy forever even though I’ve told him multiple times that I don’t care for fantasy. ![]() My 8th grade son loves all things Tolkien. ![]()
