Bad Points

Too many songs (or poems)


General Comments

I would have to start off by saying that The Hobbit: The Enchanting Prelude to the Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite books. The Author is J.R.R. Tolkien, who is the author of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, as well as The Silmarillion and many other excellent books.

Once you get into this book you will be spending all of your spare time reading it. It is very addictive. It also lays a must-have foundation for the rest of the Lord Of The Ring series.

It is about the travels of Bilbo Baggins (Frodo Baggins' Uncle), and the finding of The Ring, as well as the Battle of Five Armies. It contains a lot of the L.O.T.R. history, and it is definitely a book you must read.

The only downside to the book is that it does contain many songs (or poems) in the story, which may become boring to read if you do not like that kind of literature. All you have to do though is to skip the songs because they have no real importance to the story.

I must finish this review by stating that you will greatly miss out on an excellent book if you do not buy this one.
