thoughts on this book.... i liked it but didn't have a lot of time to enjoy it or actually understand everything happening i've been so busy couldn't even re-read it like i wanted to but thats not an excuse. Overall I liked this book a lot and really recommend reading it.The Hobbit was one of my favorite books I have read in a long time. The author did a terrific job of explaining the characters as well as the settings. The end showed how much you should fight for what is yours and never let go easily to what you love and I think thats an excellent message to teach to readers. I 100% agree with the books lessons.

Bilbo returns to his beloved hobbit hole after all;Although when he gets there his hobbit hole he is being auctioned off because he is presumed dead.In the end he gets to sit by the fire with a hot tea just like he had been hoping for the whole journey. Everything comes together and works out after all.
Bilbo comes back from being unconscious and is carried to the thorn to speak to him one last time.Thorn was fatally injured in the battle and Bilbo sees him on his last breaths. (which was very sad) Thorin is buried with the arkenstone and his sword as a hero beside the two other dwarfs kill and fili who have passed beside their king in arms. Thorin also asks Bilbo for forgiveness for being {too blind to see} that he was being a true friend and doing the right thing even though he would receive spite from Thorin. Which I agree with. Everyone mourned during thorns death, even the elves.
In this chapter Bard approaches Thorin with the arkenstone doesnt end well.It goes terrible.The battle of five armies occurs in front of the mountain. Thorins anger over the arkenstone takes over his mind and conscious and makes him greedy and selfish. During the duration of the fight bilbo is knocked out because he was hit by a stone which prevents him from making any actions.
Mr Baggins is truly the burglar all along thats basically it for this chapter.He steals Thorins most prized possession the Arkenstone which is the heart of the mountain. Then late at night he sneaks over the wall using his invisibility ring and goes to talk to the elves.He goes and meets with the elf king and Bard where he gives the stone to the so it can help them with their bargaining.
The mountains now has its king;Thorin Oakensheild Son of Thrain. He has officially taken over his fathers throne and is now {the king under the mountain.} While over this chapter we see the preparations of elves and lake men gather in Dale, where the dwarves are. We see spearmen gather and then elves with bows and after a small group of lake men who are poorly armed and led by Bard. {This chapter had a lot going on}
Smug comes down from the mountain and attacks the water city of lake town and puts it to flames.The town is armed and ready nothing can pierce through smaugs armor.After everyone retreats and runs from smug only one line of defense is left.... Bard the archer who possesses the "black arrow". Bard drew back his bow and fired the black arrow just in time for smug to be low enough where he could hit the hollow spot, and he did. Smaug descends from the sky with an arrow pierced in him while spitting fire all the way to his death.The evil fire dragon was no more.
they go on another adventure with scary things happen along the way. The dwarves were now trapped inside the dark hall with no food and stuffy air.All hope was lost and death was the only conversation, until Bilbo comes out and gives everyone their hope and will to live back.Now the dwarves are stuck inside their home with their long hated intruder and the thirst for their treasure in closed to being quenched.
bilbo is set for the job to go and recon the inside of the mountain since he is the "burglar" and he possessed an invisibility ring.The giant red dragon asleep and coiled throughout the treasure and automatically shivers with fear, then he goes back to regroup with the crew.While he's back with the dwarfs their joy eventually gets shocked with fear as they hear the roars come from the mountain, and soon smug coms out from hiding... and the dwarfs go through the hall and soon come face to face with their stolen treasure and their long hated enemy. This get really heated.
they start paddling through the lake they reach the foot of the mountain and their treasure is almost within their reach.They set off to find the hidden door into the mountain. On the way they past the town of Dale which was burned and smashed by their foe the fire dragon Smaug who is now living within the dwarves treasure. The dwarves spent days searching for the hidden door and then they find it! However it won't open and then Bilbo remembers something crucial.... "The map came with a key" and then they were into the mountain.
