The main character is Bilbo Baggins, This creature is a Hobbit. They are furry footed beings with a non-adventuress personality. Bilbo was no exception, At first he didn't even think about adventures. By the end Bilbo seemed like it was his personal destiny to be in adventures. He is a very funny and intresting charater with many good qualities. I like this book, this is because it is in a whole different world where anytyhing could happen. It is a story with many high points, and suspension. Many parts where victory seems hopeless but they always get out. The only problem I have with the book is the nearly 120 pages it took to develop the story for some action.
