The Hobbit is usually classified as a fantasy based novel and was originally written for children. This is a book about a roller coaster like adventure with jaw dropping twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat while hurriedly flipping pages. In the race to reach the ending though, one cannot but help savor the picturesque imagery of the plot that is filled with mythical characters like elves, hobbits, dwarves and wizards. While the plot may be based on mythical characters and locations, the journey that each of these characters go through is relatable to readers. The author explores the struggles of relationships and survival in a world that is ever changing. The book revolves around the character of Bilbo, a simple, home and hearth loving hobbit who, due to unforeseen circumstances is forced to venture out into an unknown world of danger, intrigue and self discovery. The evolution of Bilbo's character from being a simple albeit slightly immature hobbit, surrounded in the relative comfort and utopian beauty of the shire to a mature, well traveled and wise hobbit, is a transformation that is truly well etched. All of the books connected to The Hobbit have been extremely popular, only gaining more fandom since The Hobbit was published in 1937. The books have also been made into a movie series that has grossed millions in its success. It is available in paperback worldwide.
