The Hobbit (Lord of the Rings) (Pre-Lord of the Rings)

by J. R. R. Tolkien

The first time I read this book it was on audio, and I had such a hard time focusing on the narration that I really didn't store a lot of the story. For that reason I gave it two stars with the intention on rereading it physically later, so I could form a better opinion on the book.
I have now finished my physical reread and... It's still only two stars. I neither liked it or disliked it, it was just an okay reading experience. I can appreciate the fun and adventurous side of the story. But I think it's the writing style that killed it a bit for me. In some parts it was quite humorous, but mostly I felt the writing was slow and the chapters were dragged out.
I am still going to continue my J. R. R. Tolkien experience by reading the first of the Lord of the Ring books soon (hopefully)
