Title: The beginning of it all..
Review: "The Hobbit," the prequel to the legendary Lord of the Rings, is an excellent adventure story for readers of all ages. I particularly recommend it to younger readers, as it is not very hard to read and is easy to follow. It is a very wonderful gift to young "Harry Potter" fans, because it has the same wonder that captures the imagination. However, seasoned SF/fantasy readers (such as I) will probably see it as merely a stepping-stone for LoTR. While I enjoy this book very much, I feel it is not on the same level as the books that followed. Still, I recommend reading "The Hobbit" before you tackle "The Lord of The Rings" and "The Silmarillion."
