The Hobbit

My first impressions of the novel "The Hobbit" was that it was going to be some kind of magical adventure, starting out slow and then as the story goes on it will get more and more interesting, I'm waiting for something big to happen in the story line. I don't think I'll get that in the very first chapter though. I suppose I am enjoying this book, it's not the worst thing I've ever read, that's for sure. So far, I haven't made any connections with this novel. This book is different from what I would usually read on my own.
