A review by trynitierenee
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

3.0

A classic but... Tolkien's writing is very plot centered instead of being driven by internal conflict. It is brought up for the main protagonist in the beginning, end, and occasional narration but is never seen always told. The other characters aren't really given a reason for their actions or how they are a part of the journey other than duty. The plot is clear (once 20th century language style is compensated for), but you don't feel as if you know or have a reason to care about the characters or their goal. The novel forever changed fantasy but made you care more about the world than the characters in it.
