Query: The books have allways been and will ne one of my favorites!

I have allways been enchanted with the characters of the Hobbit series. Tolkien has a way of putting you in the book with a three demensional feel. I feel as though I'm right in the middle of the action. He is an excellent writer, and keeps my attention, and if for some unknown reason I have to put the book down, I come back to it as soon as possible. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. My only dissapointment with the paperback boxed set was the book quality was poor, and I don't like the artistic version of the characters on the covers. But Amazon>com has them for a really great price. Eric
