Pretty good

I think my biggest issue with this book is the fact that I've read so many others like it, including more recent books from King himself. It's a shame as this book came out in 1980 so well before any others I've read (or indeed before I was even born), ive just never gotten round to reading it until now.

The story itself isn't bad and the characters are well developed as you'd always expect from King, and of course it's a well written story. I enjoyed reading it to a point and it was vagurly entertaining, but there's just something about this book that didn't wow me. It's a good read but it's by no means exceptional or stand out like a number of King's other stories.

Kudos

One book that I will never tire reading

This book is one that I will always remember as one my first favorites that got me into reading fantasy. It is the only book that I have read more than a dozen times. It's a classic for a reason. The storytelling while some people say is over-descriptive will never get old to me. The journey of a young hobbit on an unforgettable journey is something that inspires myself and many others. The tale makes me wish I lived in a simpler time without the hustle and bustle of cities. It is greatly inspiring and makes me want to go on a journey of my own. It will always resonate within me. I recommend it to everyone I talk to about books.
