So I love the Hobbit. And most of my friends do too, from when they were younger. I'm not sure it's the least liked. I just think it's the least respected as a work of epic fiction (mostly because it's a children's tale at heart)

Good question. But I think it is meant to be your least favourite one.

The thread is actually about whther the Hobbit is the least liked out of all the Tolkien Books.

Oh. Oops Guess I should have read the first post.
Well, for me it is. It simply doesn't match up to the rest I've read. But keeping in mind that it is more children story than the rest, I can give it credit for being a good book. |

Maybe only in comparison to LOTR & the Silm but I'd argue that The Hobbit is almost always someone's introduction to JRRT's works, so even if it gets left behind in depth and prose it still is as majestic . . . for never a better looking front door has been written...

Ah, first post welcome. I totally agree with you. It is good on its own, but it doesn't match up with the rest.

As to it being the least loved of Tolkien's works, I wouldn't agree. I think it's a brilliant book. Something like Farmer Giles of Ham or Smith of Wooton Major are probably more deserving of the title. |
