I couldn't even finish The Hobbit, not only did I think it was rather dull but I also thought it was a bit sad. The read maybe two paragraphs of The Golden Compass and I could not keep my eyes open.

It was a bit slow to start but I think it went along with the summer days of the beginning part of the novel. <BR/><BR/>I preferred LotR over The Hobbit, but I can understand about the long descriptions by Tolkien turning you off. It does get tedious at times lol<BR/><BR/>I reviewed The Golden Compass. I'm still not really sure how I feel about it.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300159358715549689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-12458949839002033602009-03-19T22:47:00.000+03:002009-03-19T22:47:00.000+03:00I think most people say The Hobbit.
