    In the book, “The Hobbit” by J.R.R Tolkien, a short Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, had a very ordinary life and strayed away from adventure.

I loved to see how his personality developed over time and how he managed to get over a myriad of obstacles. One thing I didn’t like about the story was how there were so many characters.
