1) Was the Hobbit your first introduction to Middle Earth?

Yes

I got it for Christmas a few years ago, and my mom told me it was really a good story. Although, my younger sister, who had already read it, told me she hated it!

3) Did you like the Hobbit?

I loved the Hobbit, and I couldn't wait to go on to LotR!

Elenka · 08-22-2002, 02:49 PM

1. Yes
2. My dad tried to make me read it, and I was very reluctant at first, but then...I ended up really liking it.
3. I really liked it, and I think it's good as an intro to the other books.

katya · 08-30-2002, 02:10 PM

Was the hobbit your first introduction to middle earth?

yes, but i didn't actually read the book until after LotR.

How were you introduced to The Hobbit?

all my dad's family was really into it. my uncle's house began as a shack called the hobbit. so i knew about it forever. i saw the animated movie when i was really little. it scared me too bad though especially the spiders. i listened to part of the book on tape before lotr but its hard to follow sometimes. and not as detailed. i listened to the whole think afterward though.

did you like The Hobbit?

i did. it was pretty good. but i liked lotr better.

Allorien · 08-31-2002, 05:49 PM

1. Was the hobbit your first introduction to ME?
Yes...I read it long before I read Lord of the Rings or watched the movies.
2.How were you introduced to the Hobbit?
When I was in third grade my mom mentioned Smaug, and I was curious about it. So I got the book from the library and read it in less than a day. I re-read it later that year. (I got a really strep throat and was out of school for about a month, which was followed by Christmas Holidays!

) But I think I read it too fast to really absord the story the first time and I read ALOT while I was sick (black beauty, tom sawyer, etc, etc) but I unfortuneatley don't remember much of it. A few things do stick out in my mind, however- Like the Spiders!!! And Gollum, of course.
3.Did you like it?
Yes. I don't think I loved it entirely back then (otherwise I would've become entirely obsessed with it longer than I did

) Although I was quite into it (especially the riddles) for a while. Unfortunetly no one my age had even heard of it yet, and my interest was rather 'squashed'. Until now of course!!!!

OMG! I talk wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much!! Faramir was silent compared to this!

Nibs · 09-01-2002, 12:14 AM

Was the Hobbit your first introduction to Middle Earth?
Yes.

How were you introduced to the Hobbit?
I either read it for a book report or was assigned to read it in seventh grade, about seven or eight years ago.

Did you like the Hobbit?
Yes. I had additionally made plans to read the Lord of the Rings, but neglected to until about two years ago.

webwizard333 · 09-01-2002, 12:46 PM

Go out and get it Sween, it's a great book, though very different from LotR in terms of style and tone.
