The Hobbit is a book written by J.R.R. Tolkien.It is the first book of The Lord of The Rings. It is about a hobbit names Bilbo Boggins, a respectable hobbit who is persuaded into doing something he hates- going on adventures. He encounters dark and mysterious things on the way, such as: Goblins, Wolves, Trolls, and much more. This is a great book and I recommend it to readers who are interested in the genre fantasy.
