Favourite Thing About The Hobbit... So Far

The thing I like best about the Hobbit so far is the use of imagery by J.R Tolkien. I feel like I am really there most of the time. He really goes into depth of describing the scenes. The last chapter was about how Bilbo and the dwarves all got lost in the forest. They couldn't find their way out. The author went so deep into detail, it felt as though you were following Bilbo and Thorin trying to lead all of their comrades out of there worst en-devour yet. You can hear the wood elves dancing in the night, the way their little feet stomp on the ground all together making it sound as though a herd of zebras were being chased by a lion. The way the pine trees smell when the sun hits them and they get hot and sticky. When it becomes nightfall you can't even see your hand fly across your face from a foot away. This is what I like about The Hobbit so far, the fact that you can use it to go on your greatest adventure.

  1. Yeah, I love Tolkien's extensive imagery and descriptions, and I also love all the little non sequiturs.
