you should read the book the hobbit because it's really interesting in terms of characters settings and action. what I mean is that some of the stunts they do you would not even believe. The only reason I'm saying that because it's so amazing.The book is even better what I mean is that the book has even more detail on this amazing hobbit/dwarf journey.And one of the best parts are with the wizard the dwarfs and Bilbo Bagins One of the other best parts are when they tell the story's of there land long ago.
