Helpful Score: 2

This was one of the first books I chose to read as an adolescent. I loved the adventure and success of Mr. Bilbo Baggins in his role of 'burglar'. Growing up in a rural area with lots of trees, hills and streams my friends and I would often imagine we were in Mirkwood or in the Misty Mountains battling trolls, or orcs or escaping the wood-elves. I never thought about the fact that the story is all male characters and it certainly didn't affect my enjoyment of the story. The same is true today as I finished reading it again...I was looking for a light fast read that would take me away from some of the woes of the world we live in and I still find the story engaging and one that I can identify with as an adventure lover. I certainly appreciate Mr. Baggin's sensibilities more today than when I first read it.
