The Hobbit: Jackanory

Das Buch ist eine gute Zusammenfassung der Geschichte im Comicformat. Der Einband gefällt mir sehr gut, Printqualität könnte etwas besser sein, aber für einen Zwanni ist das noch ok.

"The Hobbit" has been with me since I was a child and nothing has changed since then. It will probably be one of my favorite books until I die. I love the gentle writing and the sense of adventure. :)

Wer die Bücher Herr der Ringe gerne gelesen hat, sollte auch hier einen Blick hineinwerfen. Schönes Buch und nicht so umfangreich wie die Triologie von Herr der Ringe. Stimmungsvoll und spannend.

There's so much to love about this story. There won't be enough space to tell you exactly how much I enjoyed this story, but I'll try my best. Tolkien's style of writing is right up my alley! The humour, the sass, the beautiful sentences *-* I will say that I could've done with a more thrilling and suspenseful style (especially in high stake scenes - when Bilbo and the dwarves were in a tight spot), but I believe that's just not really how one wrote back in the day. Still, the amount of imagination and creativity this man possessed is astounding, and I can't wait to find out even more about Middle Earth with "The Lord of the Rings" and countless other tales and information on this world. Ultimately, I can say that I enjoyed reading our grumpy dwarves, sassy Gandalf, and kind-hearted Bilbo. The small Hobbit quickly became my most favourite character in the story and I wish we would all take a leaf out of his book. Because, just like in the book, I believe our world would be quite a lovely place if we were a bit more like Bilbo. Ps: It was interesting to see how much of the book was in the films, and which scenes and storylines Peter Jackson and Co. left out or added.

Die Geschichte von Tolkien ist super, ohne Frage. Der Einband ist jedoch etwas mangelhaft. Der Transport von der Buchhandlung nach Hause hat bereits am Rand und den Ecken weiße Stellen erzeugt. Der Einband scheint nur wie von Papier umklebt, was schade ist für eine Collectors Edition.
