Negative Positive
Title: I know many will disagree, but....
Review: Why is this book so well loved? Perhaps it gets better upon rereading many times? If I could ever make myself reread it.Now, I am a HUGE fantasy reader; if I'm not reading classic literature, I have a fantasy novel in my hand. Therefore, I should be predisposed to love The Hobbit, right? Not so, apparently. I've picked up and started the book three times. I just cannot get into it. The characters are flat and boring and their actions do not inspire or excite me. I had to make myself sit down and read it, which took a very long time with many books read in between. I am a great reader and love nothing more than to sit down with a book, so when there is a book that I must force myself to read (which haven't been all that many) then that says something to me.In some ways I envy all those who adore this book; what are you getting out of it that I am not?
Is the review positive or negative?
