    I read The Hobbit. I think it was better written, more exciting and humorous than LOTR. Part of it is due to the plot itself: in LOTR they're on a moral quest to destroy a ring before it destroys them; in The Hobbit, they're looking for plain old treasure. There is a moral dimension in The Hobbit as well, but it's not as dreary. Bilbo's transformation was awe-inspiring. But I hope the movie does bring out the humor of Tolkien a bit more.

    Also! I wish Peter Jackson would have given Tom Bombadil some appearance. I don't remember him being in The Hobbit (I might be wrong) but I do remember his being in the Fellowship of The Ring, and there's no mention of him whatsoever in the movies. It's a shame, because Tom seems the most mysterious and different of all the folk in the entire saga.

    I read The Hobbit a few years ago (after seeing the LOTR movies, because I absolutely loved them).  I am so thrilled that they are making a movie out of this one, too.  While I realize that they DO have to cut out parts of the story for time's sake, I just hope that they do not take out too much.  That is always a fine line, in my opinion, when they are making a book (especially a pretty well-known book) into a movie.  But, I have full confidence in Peter Jackson, because the other LOTR movies were great.

    • About Me: I am not an easy person to pigeonhole down to a few adjectives and descriptional phrases. I am an adventurer, willing to surrender all I know in order to go where I've never been... as long as God has clearly told me to. I am a wanderer, realizing that nothing on this world is permanent or worth attaching my heart to. I look for something greater. I am a philosopher, delving deeply into the workings of my heart and reporting clearly the good and bad I find there. I am a worshipper, knowing the truth which HAS set me free, and bowing before He who died to show me that Truth.... Himself in all His Glory. I am a lover, first to my God, then to my wife, and then to all others. I am a child.... amazed in wonder at how beautiful things can be, and trusting in my Father to protect me by His strength. and all of this only scratches the surface.
