Lo Hobbit annotato

Einar reviewed La Hobito, aŭ, Tien kaj Reen by J. R. R. Tolkien

Hobitoj, ade hobitos.

4.0 stars

Mi decidis relegi la Hobiton post spekti la filmojn antaŭ kelkaj semajnoj. La filmoj ja estas tre malbonaj — tro longaj, kaj precipe faritaj por tiuj kiuj ĝuis la filmojn La Majstro de l' Ringoj sed neniam legis la librojn. Mi simple deziris alitipan filmon en la etoso de la libro.

Relegi ĝin en Esperanto antaŭ rememoris min pri kiom al mi mankis tiu lingvo. Jam pasis pli ol dek jaroj ekde mi lastatempe legis aŭ parolis ĝin. Komence legis mi malrapide, sed post nelonge sukcesis retrovi pli rapidan legoritmon.

Ankaŭ la rakonto estas bona (sed eble iom simpla, kiel taŭgas por infanlibro). Mi kredas ke mia sepjaraĝa filino ŝatus ĝin se ŝi akceptus ke mi laŭtlegus por ŝi!

A lovely adventure

This book is so fantastic, and the narrator Andy Serkis knocked it out of the park.

I read this for the first time several years ago, it was the start of my love of reading as an adult.

This time around, I listened to the audiobook and it was even better than the ebook I read.

The story is simple but amazing. Each chapter flows into the next with excitement lurking around every corner. Watching Bilbo become the hobbit he is destined to be is so enjoyable. Some of it is a little silly and a little dated, but it is a midgrade book from the 1930’s so it gets a big pass.

I forgot how many songs there were in the book, but thankfully the narrator did them justice and made them really enjoyable.

My favorite scene is still the …

Fantastic new audiobook edition

5.0 stars

It's been a couple of decades since I last read The Hobbit, but the story still holds up. This new audiobook edition is read by Andy Serkis (the actor who voiced and played Gollum, among many others). His voice acting is spectacular and really adds to the book. Highly recommended!
