Full review
The book I read was called the hobbit, which was written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
J.R.R Tolkien has also written the Lord of the Rings.

This is a book about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins and his adventure to help 13 dwarfs. At the first part of the journey they have a powerful wizard named Gandalf. During his adventure Bilbo gets caught by giants, goblins and elves, (not Santa's elves though)! Gandalf is there to save them from the giants and goblins. In one adventure the dwarves get caught by goblins, Bilbo gets left behind!
That's when Bilbo finds a magic ring, which turns him invisible!
Also they meet some wolves and the dwarfs and Bilbo get to ride on eagle's backs!
Because of the dwarves invited him along to be their thief
He has to be the one facing the awful dragon Smaug to steal the treasure.
But does Bilbo succeed in his quest?

I enjoyed this book because it was a classic adventure and was a proper treasure tail. Bilbo is the main character and I loved the way that he was a scaredy cat but also very brave, he faced his own troubles.

I also loved the spiders and the flies in the book, which was one of Bilbos adventures when he saved his friends because the spiders couldn't see him.

I think you should read this book because I found it very amusing, and also if you like real adventures this is what it is all about.

I would reccomened this book.
I give it 10/10

thank you for reading
