Hobbit is the children's book you dolt.

>>79754979
it's not what are you talking about? the book has many many more things

The movies add a shitload of stuff that's not in the books.

>can't help noticing it is basically translated page by page

What do you mean by this.

Hobbit is like a middle school book. Lotr is jr high or highschool.

Look bro i love the books. I read them all multiple times including simarillion. But they are kids books.

Yes a book about multiple brutal deaths, genocide, incestual family tragedies and demonic forces is clearly a children's story

>>79755555
Thats exactly right

You don't actually think your garbage is anything more do you, /r/books?
