4/16/2010 Kate Russell said: One of my all time favourites. If you haven't read it, do so before the movie comes out! The prequel to the Lord of the Rings (which I also love - and I think Peter Jackson did a brilliant job on the movie trilogy), but it's a much lighter read with a lot of humour in it.
