Yes! I read it when I was 13, and loved it. I only wanted to read non fiction at the time, but I grew up as the only reader in a house with NO books. I ran out of things to read and my mom had this old copy from high school and gave it to me... but I was too cool for "fantasy". I read it anyway.
It is more linear then LOTR, and more of a slant towards children. It is also somewhat lighthearted by comparison, but I tell you, I had a Shakespeare essay due the next day and this book is the reason I got a terrible grade! I couldn't stop reading. That was the moment I fell in love with Tolkien
I saw the movie yesterday! It was as good as I expected. It was just like The Hobbit movie should be like. Of course its not as good as Lord of the Rings movies but still very good. Martin Freeman was great as Bilbo and it was great to see Gandalf again. 3D was ok but it made some battle scenes a little hard to follow. I might have enjoyed it more in 2D. The movie was a great trip back to Middle-earth. Can't wait to see the sequels!
