The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

I only read this because I loved the movies so much. I thought that the book itself dragged on. It wasn't terrible, but I had to read over some parts more than once. I was told that there was a good chance that I would hate it because of the fact that it's mostly walking, but I'm glad I finished it. I enjoyed the ending though. My favorite part is when Gollum and Bilbo have a riddle-off. I just like Gollum as a character because of his selfishness and the way he talks. "How did we lose it, my precious?"
