The Hobbit: or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien

adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

Perhaps the original cozy fantasy. This read more like a short story to me, though it is novel length. Each character is so lovable. The book has none of the sinister aspects the movie leans on. I wish I had a hobbit hole.
