Thirteen years after I first read The Hobbit and I love it just as much, if not more!

The audiobook was a great experience, I tried to listen to it in smaller bits to last longer because it was so engrossing I could have done it in one go. Tolkien's words don't loose absolutely any of its value, charm and humour when listened instead of read, in fact they feel like they were meant to be read aloud, as he was such a magical storyteller and this is, after all, a story written for children.

The Hobbit never fails to warm my heart and I recommend it to any rader, regardless of their age: read it alone, read it to the children in your life, to your significant other, to the elder... Read to anyone you want to share some magic with!
