With all the buzz around the internets lately, I figured I should track down a copy of this. Its just as well-written as I expected, and the maps are fantastic! Best of all, it includes a lot of the author's own original artwork. I highly recommend that you track down your own copy. It'll be interesting to see how closely the film follows this book.
Well played.
ReplyDeleteI actually think this book is better than the trilogy that followed it -- the Professor's best writing IMO.
ReplyDeleteA film to follow? A flshy big supplement already? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there's references to dwarf tossing considering there are 12 dwarves in the book. Not to mention shield surfing elves.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! A new edition?! This makes my other two copies of The Hobbit obsolete! It's like it's not even the same story anymore! Damn you, money-grubbing publishers!!!
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there.
