1) Yes.
2) My mom borrowed it from the library for us, read the first few chapters, couldn't bring herself to read further and pronounced it "clean". 3) Immensely.

1) Was the Hobbit your first introduction to Middle Earth?
Yes 2) How were you introduced to the Hobbit? Had to read it in year 8 for English. 3) Did you like the Hobbit? Yes, though I never really finished it then. I thought it was ok, like LotR the first time I read it. Obviously, now I'm obsessed with ME. But, then I was too stupid and naive to recognise brilliance. PS. Gwaimir, your inbox is full. Again. |

1) Yes.
2) My brother was reading it, though I dont think he ever finished it. We had seen the animated movie before either of us were interested in the book. I was allways looking up to him, so I read it. I was around 7 or 8. 3) Yes, I liked it a lot. |

1) Was the Hobbit your first introduction to Middle Earth?
Yes 2) How were you introduced to the Hobbit? My mother gave it to me. I was 10 or so 3) Did you like the Hobbit? No, I thought it was boring at first and I read only a couple of first pages. But then a few years later I found it again and this time I started from the middle, where Bilbo and Gollum were guessing the riddles, and it got so interesting I turned the book over at the beginning and read it properly this time. And then it was my fav book for years till I read LOTR |
