This book has been very hard for me to read and to get into. I am not into this kind of fantasy whatsoever. Goblins, trolls and hobbits are just kind of odd and "freaky" to me. For one thing, they don't seem like the most attractive, nice creatures at all and they are basically animals; well, at least I see them this way. It's interesting how many stories and movies from the past and the present include these odd creatures. I've always wondered what brought them about in all these children stories. I would think that many children would be afraid of these type of creatures(I mean, like I said earlier, they're freaky), yet I guess they're not too afraid of them considering many movies and books today are extrememly popular with young children.
