Reviews

Eph (they, them) reviewed The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

Loved it years ago

5 stars

I read it years ago (70's) and I spent many of hours reading the trilogy in high school when I should have been doing other things. I do not regret it though.

Immersive adventures in the childhood

5 stars

When I was a kid, it was hard to read, but interesting at the same time. I think, it's a good book to help children learn that patience reaps rewards. Of a cool story in this particular case.
