Book review - 'Old Magick' By K. Ross & 'The Hobbit' By J.R.R. Tolkein

Hello everyone.
I hope all is well?

Todays book reviews are as follows - 'The Hobbit' By J.R.R. Tolkein, which was Karl S. Green's choice and last week's book review (which I was meant to do, but I hadn't finished reading it) 'Old Magick' By Kirstyanne Ross.

First up is 'Old Magick.

This story centres around Loshelle, her father killed, mother abandons her, leaving her alone in the world, or so she thinks. She hides a secret from the world, but worse than that there are people somewhere in world that are after her grandparents and want the secret they have.
This is a fast paced adventure with twists and turns at each page. Sometimes the story does slow down, but I think that is so your mind can catch up with what has happened so far.
If you want to know more, sorry but you will have to download the book lol, from amazon uk and amazon usa.
I would give this 4.2 out of 5, a bit more editing and revision could have helped, but all in all a good read.

Okay onto 'The Hobbit' By J.R.R. Tolkien.

I cannot remember when I read this, though I do recall it was before my 11th birthday. This book dragged me into another world and by the end of the book, I was captivated by the fantasy genre.
As Karl S. Green stated yesterday in his interview, without this book the fantasy genre wouldn't really exist.
The story is about a hobbit, who goes on an adventure full of danger, adventure and finding yourself.
My favourite chapter is 'Riddles in the dark.' I made myself memorise the riddles and to this day I love randomly repeating one of the riddles to my daughter Amelia to see if she knows the answer.
Written by a wonderful imaginative and somewhat troubled author, who had seen service in World War 1, I tihnk he was trying to send a message through this book - that no matter how you escape the real world, the real world will always be there, with its horrors, devastations, beauty and adventure.
5 out of 5 stars for this book without a doubt, a wonderful read that captures the imagination and makes it fire on all cylinders.

Okay so that's the book reviews for this week, hope you enjoyed reading my blog?
Next week I shall be interviewing poet and short story extraordinaire Jackie Portman. As for book reviews, as of yet I have no clue, but if you do have any suggestions please leave a comment.
Thanks for reading, have a great week.
