Yes and Yes. Have quite a few editions of the Hobbit, including a few illustrated ones. All make the read unique and enjoyable.
Good! I have two and I'll probably buy the big green cloth bound illustrated one to go with my clothbound Lord of the Rings.
I haven't read the books, but have seen the movie.
The book is pretty short and I highly recommend it!
I will check it out.
Sweet.
I haven't been able to read it yet!
It's awesome! Watch the movies if you haven't as well, even if they're a bit out there from the plot sometimes.
I haven't read the book, but I would love to and I definitely plan on seeing the movie!

Excellent! I hope you enjoy both.
I first read The Hobbit in either 7th or 8th grade, well, I attempted to read it because my best friend Jennifer was reading it. At that time I was all into the Bronte sisters and Louisa May Alcott. I read the entire book, and loved it, the summer between my junior and senior years. I read it again in college, and we found a condensed version meant for MG readers on a sale table at B&N, so I read that as a chapter a night book with my son. I read the LotR books during my senior high school year, but am sorry to say I haven't read them a second time. I have four or five of the lost stories, history, and short stories books, but haven't read those either. *hangs head in shame* We saw all three of the LotR movies three times each at the theater and I don't know how many more times at home. I haven't seen any of the Hobbit movies yet because my son is in college now and doesn't hang with his mom as much as he used to. I don't have any irl friends or family that want to see them. I feel awful because a high school friend of mine, who lives in New Zealand, has been an extra and a stuntman in them. Thanks for another fine giveaway. 🙂
Well, they're definitely worth seeing and if you get the chance watch the extended editions! They're sort of my favorite. 🙂
I've read the book but haven't seen the movie yet.
Any of them? Well I recommend the extended editions. The special features and extra scenes are so worth it.
I read it back in junior high back when the LOTR films came out and interested me. At the time I struggled to understand but read through it along with the trilogy books since I love fantasy and adventure stories. I plan on watching the last film since I'm curious how the book's ending will be portrayed, along with the fate of Tauriel and Radhagast.
The last film looks like it's going to be pretty good. But I'm a big fangirl for Peter Jackson's Middle Earth. 🙂
