The_Warblers Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Can someone explain to me what "the hobbit" is about? Too lazy to google myself. It's like similar storyline to LOTR? Is it like a development of LOTR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsalagi_Phoenix Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I love the movies. I saw them all in the movie theater when they first were released. The Hobbit movie was amazing. The Hobbit book is also really good. I'm currently reading the first book in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm about 30 pages in and I like it so far. I'd be further, but I've been sick so I haven't really felt like reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Can someone explain to me what "the hobbit" is about? Too lazy to google myself. It's like similar storyline to LOTR? Is it like a development of LOTR? I haven't read the Hobbit, but what I understand from my girlfriend, it's set before LotR. Do you remember the very beginning of LotR, where Bilbo (Frodo's uncle) was talking about his adventures, and was going to Rivendell to write them all down. The Hobbit is his adventure. It's not epic (or it wasn't supposed to be, lol)- the Hobbit was originally written as bedtime stories for JRR Tolkein's kids. It seems like they've added some stuff from another book, so we see what Gandalf is doing when he leaves Bilbo and the Dwarves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I personally love LOTR! Got the extended edition for blu-ray for Christmas and can't wait to have my own marathon :laughingsmiley: I bought the book recently too and I intend to read it before next semester starts....it's just there's a lot of other games to play and books I need to finish! LOTR is another HUGE fantasy world that you can either get into or get bored by its own history. I love fantasy worlds and can easily get into it (ex. Elder Scrolls, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy, etc.) so it just depends on the person since I love the fantasy life xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
