/lit/ - Literature

In the sense of being conflicted between a desire for comfort and a desire for adventure, a wish for comfortable routine but simultaneously for excitement and change.

This was a very weird book. It annoyed me how the perspective of the story changed frequently throughout the book. I was constantly confused whether Biblo was speaking in past or present. This book really got on my nerves for several reasons. Sorry, but I have to unleash some of my hatred for this book.
1) wow, I "love" how it is sooo convenient that they spontaneously keep running into giant spiders, evil elfs, goblins, giants etc. I know they need a climax and all, but seriously?
2. Okay, bilbo, you have a mother frickin wizard with you, why don't u ask him to like umm...help?
3. Biblo use your brain, I don't care if you have to build a plane, blimp, submarine or whatever. But really, don't you have a better way of transportation?
4. You are being counterproductive.
5. You are so self-conscious and un-confident.
6. Horrible character build up.
7. I have no idea what time period this is in? The future, the past? The present?
8. Use the stupid map bilbo, obviously we have access to the same, identical map.
9. Maybe you should of you know, done some research before you and your "friends" go stampeding into unknown territory?
10. Wow, how convenient that Gandalf happens to have elf buddies right where you and your missionary dwarfs are headed for.
11. Treasure? Really? Come on?
Idc if you disagree with my review, but I certainly hate this book.
