Series: Well, of
course, it fits right in with Hobbit, but
it’s not part of a series

(I suppose…yeah…)
Number of
pages: 316
My overall
opinion: I enjoyed it quite a lot! A good book. I was a little afraid when
I first got it that I would find it too preachy – I don’t enjoy books like
that. But it wasn’t too preachy, and the parallels were well thought out. There
were plenty of quotes and paraphrases from The
Hobbit. I think that anyone who’s a Hobbit
fan will enjoy this book, even if you don’t usually read devotionals (I
don’t). Contains 60 short chapters (readable in five minutes or so) – each
chapter opens with a bit of Bilbo’s journey (or occasionally some history about
the book) then neatly and smoothly segues into a connected devotional. I
recommend it for any lover of Hobbit, especially
Christians. It’s an excellent read.
