Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon...

What an Epic Adventure Tale!

It has to be a classic read that will be read forever..

Now I really can not wait for the Movie! I have a very great expectation for many of my favorite scenes from the book to be visualized in the movie..This is so refreshing, I have already read LOTR and The Two Towers.. But The Hobbit is really something else.. I love to read Mr. Bilbo Baggins epic adventure.. It feels so wonderful.. Also to know more about some magnificent characters and tales that were only mentioned slightly on LOTR series..

Well the story was kinda started with Mr. Baggins's unexpected involvement in the Thorin's dwarfs party to fill in the mission of taking back the dwarf's lost kingdom under the lonely mountains where a certain vicious dragon lived and ruined many lives of many tribes of dwarves, men, and elves. And along the way to the lonely mountains was where all the epic adventures happened. It was just fantastic!

I love this wonderful feeling.. It's such a good and enjoyable read.. Totally must-read for all epic-fantasy story-lovers.. This is just great.. <3

Watch the awesome trailer and get ready to watch this epic movie in this December! :D I know that I can't wait!

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Siobhan Dowd, Jim Kay (Illustrator)

The monster showed up after midnight. As they do.

But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting. He's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming...

This monster is something different, though. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.

It wants the truth.

I have to thank Patrick Ness for the excellent writing, the late Siobhan Dowd for the amazing story and ideas, and remarkable illustration by Jim Kay.

There is nothing wrong with this book. It's flawless and heart-breaking.

This is the harsh fact of tales. This is reality. This is life. There are just so much to think about after reading this book and so much emotion to sort out.

This book is not just an ordinary story book, there's a deep-meaning of truth in it. It keeps me awake (the fact that I am typing this review at 2 AM). I can't stop thinking and mourning at the end of the book. I literally cried because I can relate so much to the main character from the book. I know what he felt, because I've been in his position too. It teared me apart.

I recommend this book to all of you who read this post. I can't say anything more about this book. It's difficult to say. There are just too much feelings going on now. Somehow this book has a personal-meaning to me. and it hurts so much.

I am sorry, if I am getting too emotional, but it's hard not to.
