This book has more or less everything that is needed in a fantasy adventure. While not as good as Lord of the Rings, this book is great for people who are bored, or just minors at books who want to get started.
The story has a main character, namely Bilbo, and he is thrown in a big world where he encounters many different things, like a riddling goblin and 3 mutton-eating things.
Overall, this book is great for a lot of people and most definately not worth missing. Visit your local library now, if you have not yet read it. The length of this book can go on for a while, too. Well, thats most of the information I am prepared to give away.
Thanks for taking interest, and I hope this book will enlighten you ^_^
