      nice, what did you think of it?

      Tolkien’s descriptions of settings and flow w/ action sequences really make the book fly by. although, i thought the ending was a bit rushed—with the death of Smaug being somewhat disappointing, and the little war at the end was more of a whimper than a bang.

      otherwise, brilliant little book, it felt like going on a DnD campaign or something—and rightly so, considering it sort of inspired all that.
