It was my first J.R.R. Tolkien book. I had purchased it in 2005 and
started reading it a few months ago. After some breaks, I finally had time to
finish it today.
Tolkien's English is superb! Now, I understand why he has so many fans worldwide. The book captures your imagination and transports you to the world of hobbits. The descriptions of events are vivid and engaging, creating a strong interest in the reader.
Recommended reading for anyone who has not yet explored J.R.R. Tolkien's works.
