“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.” - #TheHobbit by #JRRTolkien

#BookReview: Wow. Three letters that best describe the book. It was more than what I expected and way better than I thought. (lesson: do not be intimidated easily) As I said before, I regret that I didn’t read this sooner. But better late than never, yeah? •
Bilbo, Gandalf, the drwaves and even Gollum and Smaug are characters I’ll never forget. My 10-year old self is jumping out of sheer joy and fascination with the adventure that she just had! And this journey is something that I will totally let my future children experience! (Like the Harry Potter series, of course) •
But aside from the wonderful things in the book and the beautiful writing of Tolkien, what made me really love it was how it showed us our ‘Hobbit-selves.’ We are like Bilbo who are contented living in a comfort zone, but deep inside we are longing to take on a new road and do new things. Yet, we are too scared to try, too scared to face the world. Then again, just like Bilbo Baggins, we take one step forward to the unknown with the hopes of returning back as a better person.

“There are no safe paths in this part of the world.” You just have to take the leap of faith. •

Every reader must read at least one Tolkien book in his/her lifetime. IT’S A MUST! •
