We left off with poor Bilbo Baggins waking up to a mess in the kitchen. He saw the signs of a very large and very hurried breakfast from those adventure seeking dwarfs. After all the dishes were cleaned up Bilbo thought it best to sit down and take a break. Then before Bilbo could take a moment to relax, Gandalf rounded the corner and asked why he wasn't ready. Bilbo had thought he dodged a bullet. He was being rushed out before he could gather anything for the trip, he even forgot his pocket handkerchief.
With the Hobbit movie coming out this fall it got me wanting to read the book again. I started reading it and its just as good as I remembered. From the well written characters, to the detailed surroundings, it sparks your imagination with every page you read. With the level of detail in the story you feel as if you are on the journey with the Hobbit and his comrades. So if you plan on seeing the first part of this Theatrical trilogy, I suggest you read the book you won't be disappointed.
