Preconceived Notions of The Hobbit
I seem to be in a small group of readers that has yet to read The Hobbit. Although I enjoy fantasies, the general idea of a somewhat grotesque troll never appealed to me. I find it curious that I was very interested in similar novels such as Harry Potter but the adventurous plot of the hobbit was not enough to lure me. Despite all the recommendations that my friends made when I was much younger, the suggestions were never taken seriously partly due to my idea that the book seemed what I would have considered a "boy" book. Now that i have grown in experience and maturity, I am still not sure whether I will like the book or dislike the book. It depends on whether the amount of adventure grasps my attention.

Interesting! I look forward to seeing how your experience of reading compares. Where does your idea about the troll come in?
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea where I got the idea of a troll and I was actually schocked to read that there was such creatures in the book! I think I may have just been using my preconceived notions on fantasies in general and the "trolls" that seemed to always be in theaters when the fantasies were made into films.
