The Hobbit is based on events that took place before the Lord of the Rings trilogy begins. Bilbo Baggins is a small and hairy hobbit, who lives in his comfortable hobbit-hole in bag-end. When a wizard arrives on his doorstep with 13 dwarves, he invites them all in for tea. Little does he know that they are to take him on the biggest adventure of anybody's life, where he will encounter goblins, elves, men who can change into bears and Smaug the Magnificent-a very fierce dragon. Many times he wishes for the safety of his comfortable hobbit hole and at times the only thing which keeps him going is Gandalf's certainty that he will see the company through.
While the Lord of the Rings was targeted at a much older audience, I think that The Hobbit appeals more to younger people because it is less complicated and a whole lot shorter. It has an amazing storyline and is certainly a classic. This is why I loved this book, and the film also helped me to understand it clear.
