Don't forget the book!

As December begins, new movies come out just in time for the holidays. One of this season's expected box office hits: The Hobbit. After three successful Lord of the Rings movies why not make The Hobbit into a movie too, but let's not forget that behind the movie is also a book!

The Hobbit is the prequel to the LOTR series and follows the grand adventure of our little hobbit friend Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is enticed to leave his safe life and go on a treasure stealing mission with
dwarves. They encounter many a foe along the way all leading to the final foe, a run-in with Smaug the Magnificent who guards the treasure they seek.  For those who have not read the book, Tolkien also introduces us to Gandalf, Gollum and the magic ring that is the focus of the LOTR novels.

The Hobbit is a must read before the movie is released in less than two weeks!
