A review by simonator
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
Forgot how many deus-ex-machinas Tolkien just had to have in there ("The Eagles!!!"). Amazing how the flaws of characters take very much centre-stage and lead to meaningful conflict.
