For all of those LOTR(Lord Of The Rings) fans,missed reading The Hobbit?Well,The Hobbit is the prelude to LOTR. In case you have read the LOTR and not The Hobbit,its better that you remain devoid of The Hobbit.Probably its my mistake for having read LOTR first and then switch back to 'Hobbit' that I found the later no way near to the epic of LOTR.Hobbit is more child-like comics sans pics,a more of bed time story rather than a epitome of creativity.The only advantage out of reading this book is that you get a little introduction of the characters who will be the main roles in LOTR.The dwarfs,The ELves,Hobbits,Gandalf,etc.If at all you wanna read this book,read this one first before you go to LOTR.Dont to do the other way round(like me :)) ,am sure you will be bored.The narrative style of J.R.R.Tolkien again is impressive and the dialogues at many a place will have you in splits.But its the series of events which are so amatuerish that it will test your patience.On the whole,Hobbit is tiny creature in comparison to the gigantic LOTR
Bottomline : Jump to LOTR,do not wait for "The Hobbit"
