The Hobbit

I have started reading The Hobbit for the 5th (or 6th) time recently. It is interesting to think about the trolls in this book. In The Hobbit, they talk, but in the LOTR series, they don't. That's always puzzled me a little. I just assume that they are a different kind.

This book is the easiest read from the series, and if you haven't read it, you're missing out. Not only on a great story, but LOTR wouldn't make very much sense. Just writing to say if you haven't read it, you need to!

Smaug

Thank you for posting.
I wouldn't mind a link on my blog at all.

In The Hobbit, Smaug, the dragon in the Lonely Mountain, Has a conversation with Bilbo. He has a couple of conversations, and doesn't even care if Bilbo takes his gold. But after talking for a while, Smaug finds out information from Bilbo. He actually gets mad and tries to kill him. Bilbo gets away, back to the dwarves, and they hide. Smaug, in his rage, attacks the lakemen. Their leader is told by a thresh, that Smaug has a weakspot. And he kills Smaug.
