  Plot Synopsis This book is a fantasy adventure novel that is written for entertainment. It takes place thousands of years ago in Middle Earth (above), and is full of Dragons, Wizards, Dwarves, and Elves.

Bilbo Baggins is an ordianry Hobbit. Very short, very plump, and very friendly. He lived an ordinary Hobbit life until one day when Gandalf, and his team of explorers, came knocking at his door. Gandalf, the White Wizard, had selected Bilbo to come along in the quest to aquire the treasure of the marauding dragon Smaug. On the way to the Dragon's lair, they make many stops like at the Misty Mountains. The weather was too ferocious for the team to carry on, so they find a cave in the mountains to stop at. Bilbo gets lost in the caves and finds a shiny ring that he picked up. The ring to rule them all. The team found eachother soon after got back on track. On the way to the Dragon lair they encounter giant spiders of the Mirkwood forest. They are ambushed and barely make it out alive. They used quick thinking and hid in barrels, jumped in the river, and floated to saftey. After traveling to the mountain the crew finds themselves in a cave with the lethal dragon, and Smaug is not very happy. He lets them know it and spits fire like a mighty fountain. Will the crew make it out with the treasure, or even their lives?    <span style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #154b11; TEXT-ALIGN: center">Kirby's Criticisim I thought that the whole premise of the book being good overcomming evil wasn't very original. That theme is all over the place, but at the same time I have yet to read a book quite like this. The descriptions are very very well written, the characters are easy to grasp, and who doesn't love dragons? Overall i think that this book was very good. An A on the Kirby scale. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for some adventure or a good book. It has alot of action and suspense as well.
