interesting to the book. The drugs are just there, they are not being publicized it any way, it is a part of the character. The book may have inappropriate subjects for some kids, but because it is not a kids book. Fantasy lovers should have an original piece of fantasy to enjoy themselves with. This book is filled with action and adventure and shows how Bilbo Baggins grows as a character instead of staying home and keeping his routine. He went out and about to seek risk challenges and…

Everyone just speaks, and nothing happens, The characters also make completely dumb choices that make absolutely no sense. The dad character, when he has already figured out Nilbog is goblin spelled backwards,…

Books should be uncensored for they teach what parents are afraid of teaching their children while they’re young.

Books give necessary information to children that is important for…
