On the contrary, I find the book too rushed. Not descriptive enough. No character development. Just think about it, usually they make movies out of a book with 400 pages. and it's one movie per book. With The Hobbit they're making 4 movies out of.... 150 pages or 200 pages... 
Imo the book is way too rushed. If it would've been descriptive, with a continuous action and with solid character development I would've LOVED the book, but it's the exact opposite XD

Yeah, I love the movie. I feel that the movie actually stuck to the book better than other book to movie conversions. Maybe the reason you, and maybe other people, hate the book is because it's very descriptive, and sometimes too much detail can get boring to the reader. Is that the reason?

The movie is absolutely fantastic. That's why I wanted to read the book, thinking it would be even better than the movie. I was disappointed by a book. For the first time ever, the movie as waaaay better than a book I've read omfg XD

Lol, well, did you enjoy the movie?

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

I read it out of curiosity after the first part of the movie came out and I absolutely hated it XD

It's my favorite book! My brother actually got the book from his school years back. I also had to read it for school once, and I had already read the book many times. It's a good book. It's basically about these 2 teenage boys who are greasers. They accidentally murder a soc, a rich boy, out of self-defense. They go on the run. There's actually way, way, way more to it than that, but I don't want to give the story away, lol. And, you may get emotional on some parts, I know I did the first few times I read it.

Yayyyy!

I remember that book!! I used to love it. I don't know when I started using a computer, but I got my first one at age 11. And trust me, I'm on the computer 24/7 as well...which is not good...

Ahh, I love Greek mythology, I'll start reading it I guess. :3

If I ever find my library card, I'm probably going to go borrow some books, haha. 

I think at 4...I was being read books like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." xD
But I think I started using a computer at age 4, hehe. 
At least your obsession is much better than me going on the computer like 24/7...

You definitely should, especially if you love Greek mythology. I've read "The Lost Hero," "The Son of Neptune," and "The Mark of Athena," in the Heroes of Olympus series.

I've always been drawn to books. My parents said I learned to read at 4, sooo I guess I got my hobby early on. To be honest, I think I'm obsessed...I even read books online on sites like Wattpad...

I've only heard of "The Percy Jackson Series", "The Heroes of Olympus" and "The Hobbit"

I'm actually inspired to start reading "The Lost Hero" now because that's the only book from that series that I have. xD

It's really cool how you read a lot tho, I don't at all.

Haha. Maybe you haven't heard of most because I read all kinds of books, so the list kinda stretches from genre to genre. They're all different, and some of them aren't as famous or popular as others.

Why have I not read any of these...or even heard of most of them?

Wow, I need to get out more.
